"The Scottish Highlands and Islands feel otherworldly with their fascinating diversity, alluring wilderness and magnificent scenery. This really is where to go to get away from it all. Choose exhilaratingly remote Assynt, hike sprawling Glen Coe and spot remarkable wildlife at Caledonian Forest, to name a few highlights. There is a rich culture in this part of Scotland too, where you can enjoy a wee dram of divine whisky on Islay and lose yourself to a springy tune at the Shetland Folk Festival."--Page 4 of cover.
