Luxury Private Guided Sightseeing Tours of Scotland with Chauffeurs UK
Discover Scotland Once thought of as a fearsome part of the British Isles, inhabited by wild Highland hillmen, the image of the Highlands of Scotland began to change in the 19th century with the publication of Sir Walter Scott's romantic poems and novels, such as Rob Roy, Waverley, and The Lady of the Lake. Hill, lake, and valley, known in Scotland as ben, loch, and glen, together create stunning scenery, filling the horizon of western Scotland with sculptural shapes under a wide sky, and drawing visitors from all over the world to admire nature at its most grand. Many are also here to seek the land of their ancestors, driven to new worlds by the difficulty of making a living from thin, infertile soils and bitter wintry weather. Whisky-distilling, farming, and fishing are the traditional industries, underpinned by the income derived from the many visitors who come to climb the region's several Munros (mountains over 914 metres/3,000 feet in height), cruise the lochs and inter-island seaways by boat, or explore the fine gardens and stately homes open to the public.
