The beautiful white sands of Balnakeil Beach in the Scottish Highlands

Beach lovers rejoice, the Scottish Highlands are paradise on Earth for beautiful beaches that are wonderfully tranquil, with azure waters, white sands, and dune-tufted landscapes that transform into mountainous backdrops. A beach so beautiful it could belong in the tropics, Alchmelvich Beach sits along the famous NC500 route and promises an untamed setting for your beach day, while the white-gold sands at Durness and Balnakeil invite you to discover fascinating landmarks and incredible sea views along the coast.

Things to do in the Scottish Highlands

The rolling landscapes surrounding Durness in the Scottish Highlands with mountains in the background

Whether you’re a historian, nature lover or poet, the Scottish Highlands are home to an incredible assortment of things to see and do. The Cairngorms National Park and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park are a haven for walkers, whether you love mountainous peaks or glassy lakes, while charming towns and fishing villages such as Fort William and Ullapool promise a myriad of independent shops and eateries to explore. Feeling the call of the sea? Enjoy a boat trip to the many wonderful isles that pepper the waters around the Highlands, from the Isle of Ulva to the oh-so-dramatic Isle of Skye, or simply climb aboard and enjoy the many wildlife watching opportunities around the coast.

Places to eat in the Scottish Highlands

The quaint white exterior of Mathers in Durness

Boasting extraordinary seafood and wonderfully welcoming pubs, seeking out food in the Scottish Highlands is an adventure all of its own. In Ullapool, the famous Seafood Shack is the place to go for ocean-fresh fare, while Fort William offers a wide variety of restaurants and cafés you can sink into after a day exploring the Highlands. Of course, when it comes to dining out in the Scottish Highlands, you simply can’t beat a local pub with a menu full of haggis, neeps, and tatties and Aberdeen Angus beef burgers - and possibly a dram of whisky or two for good measure.
