Few places inspire the romantic and champion within everyone like the beautifully rugged Scottish Highlands. We obviously think that you should do your Scotland Highlands Tour by motorhome, but that is your decision.

The Scottish Highlands are rich in ancient history and much more.  This area is known for warrior poets, and legendary for humour and sport, a journey through each nook and cranny of the Highlands could never disappoint. Unfortunately, many of the most beautiful locales in this scenic region are remote, rural, and without easy accommodation. Having one’s own place to stay, and with many comforts of home is the ideal way to see such a wondrous land. A Scotland Highlands Tour by motorhome is an excellent option for the self-guided traveller who wants to see it all.

When you’re not relying on hotel check-in and check-out times, or on the open hours of local eateries, the entire landscape is open to your whim. So, instead of blustering through town upon town, region after region, why not linger? Really delve deep into all the Highlands have to offer. Here are two great sites you won’t want to miss:

Inverness and Surrounds

All roads lead from here. Inverness remains the one true city of the Highlands and serves as a gateway to all that lay beyond. It is a hub of shops, dining, and an excellent place to stock up on supplies and ideas for the journey beyond the city’s edge. Be sure to veer south of town to the famous Loch Ness and try to catch a glimpse.

Northern Highlands

Let your campervan become a hiker’s base camp. No other area offers so much for those wanting a peaceful stroll through ancient countryside or a challenging hike across craggy hills. This is not the tourist track. The Northern Highlands are for serious travellers who want to see the landscape as it has always been. Explore caverns and lochs, fish for your evening’s meal. Savour the rawest meaning of what it is to be a Scot.
