There are lots of things to do in the Scottish Highlands; walking, cycling (both on tracks and around the road network), dolphin trips on the water and sighting from the shore, shopping in the cosmopolitan city of Inverness with its theatre and many excellent restaurants ~ not to mention the personal high quality little shops in many local villages.
Car trips to the north, south, east and west ~ information is readily available in the holiday cottages. Take a trip to Orkney and see Dunrobin Castle and the Castle of Mey on the way. Riding, off-road quad biking, clay pigeon shooting are all available.
Burn Farm Holiday Cottages are in the middle of the Scottish Highlands and all areas are easily within reach.
The west with its spectacular scenery and wilderness is only 50 minutes away. Many sights and walks can be recommended. Ullapool is the base for boating trips to the Summer Isles and Inverewe Gardens is well worth a visit. You can also take in Gairloch and Loch Maree on this trip. This picture is of Plockton on the way to the Isle of Skye.
The Spey Valley is to the south with Rothiemurchus, Aviemore and the Highland Wildlife Park, Landmark Centre at Carrbridge, steam railway and Osprey hide. Go and feed the reindeer up the mountains or ski them in the winter.
The east specialises in whisky distilleries, lovely beaches and antique shops.
The north has wonderful open scenery and many castles such as Dunrobin Castle and Castle of Mey on the north coast. The far north gives access to the fascinating islands of Orkney.
Dornoch (40 minutes north on the A9) is a very interesting village for a day trip and has its own Cathedral and Castle in the village as well as many places to shop and eat.
