Loch Ness and the Highlands (Scotland)

Are you visiting Edinburgh? You cannot miss the stunning landscapes of the Highlands, Rannoch Moor, the unique Glencoe Valley, Mount Ben Nevis, and the mysterious Loch Ness. You can take a boat trip in search of “Nessie” (the legendary “monster” that inhabits the lake) or take a walk along the banks of the Caledonian Canal, the longest in Scotland. The highlands may not be Europe’s most visited tourist attraction, but it’s certainly home to some of the continent’s most beautiful landscapes.
