For a far more manageable view of Northern Scotland we have used older maps and terms as the modern regions are too large and we would lose the likes of Sutherland and Caithness. The following map will be our main guide, though for simplicity we will give Skye a page of its’ own, roll all the other Inner and Outer Hebrides into their own sections. We’ve also split Ross and Cromarty into Easter Ross and Cromarty and Wester Ross, as they are both quite unique within themselves and so much good information would have been lost had we adhered to the current political division.
Each entry provides a concise overview of a particular drive, region, or interest, accompanied by recommendations encompassing natural attractions, scenic viewpoints, historical landmarks, museums, sites of cultural significance, and notable experiences deemed particularly worthwhile.
It is important to exercise caution, as opening hours and site accessibility frequently change, and certain locations may be partially inaccessible or in a state of disrepair. Museums and related attractions often operate on a seasonal schedule.
To ensure the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding operating hours, admission fees, or accessibility, it is advisable to consult official websites or recent Google Maps reviews prior to your visit.

We have now replaced our individual ‘shire’ pages with a downloadable booklet in pdf form.
