Come for a visit, we're waiting to welcome you

There's so much to see and do in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and we’re sure you’ll agree, one visit is simply never enough!

Of course, we’d love you to stay permanently, but if that’s just not possible right now, coming for a visit is the next best thing.

Here, you can lose yourself in a land steeped in history, culture and legend. Our rugged but accessible landscapes of lochs, glens and mountains are waiting to be explored - at whichever pace you choose.

Our vibrant towns and villages are a welcome blend of traditional and modern, old and new. One thing they’re not, though, is ordinary. If you’re looking to step away from the everyday, come and visit the Highlands and Islands.

In traditional Highland style, there’s always help on hand to help you plan the perfect visit. Our national tourism body, VisitScotland’s website is packed with information about the whole of Scotland, it’s a pretty good place to start.
