4The Scottish Highlands: Mystical Landscapes and Scenic Drives

The Scottish Highlands, with their rugged mountains, tranquil lochs, and expansive glens, are especially beautiful in autumn. As the heather turns and the trees take on shades of gold and red, the Highlands offer an unparalleled landscape for road trips and hiking. Destinations like Loch Lomond and Glen Coe are particularly captivating with the autumnal colors and morning mist.

Autumn is also the season for local events like the Braemar Gathering, a traditional Highland games event. Don’t miss the chance to stop at a local distillery for a whisky tasting, which is perfect for warming up on a brisk autumn day.
