Nature

Towering mountains, glittering lochs, thick woodland and miles upon miles of golden beaches - Scotland's landscapes really will take your breath away. Tour the rolling hills and lush farmland of the Lowlands and drive through deep glens surrounded by mountains in the Highlands.

 

Whatever your taste may be, Scotland might just have it for you.

 

Look at the images below and see for yourself some of what Scotland's nature has to offer.

A natural wonder that has fascinated mankind for millennia, the Northern Lights (also called the Aurora Borealis) are nature’s very own stunning performance.

 

It may be a surprise to you, but northern Scotland actually lies at the same latitude as Stavenger in Norway and Nunivak Island in Alaska which means that you’re in with a good chance of spotting the ‘Mirrie Dancers’ on a trip to Scotland without breaking the bank!

In Scotland, the world is at your feet! Challenge yourself and satisfy your craving for thrills as you conquer the country's rugged, precipitous peaks.

 

You can admire some of the most impressive ridges in the UK, or take in panoramic views atop our beautiful smaller hills - you'll feel like you're king of the world.

These large stretches of water are a unique feature of the Scottish landscape and there are thousands of them dotted across the land.

 

We've got large ones, small ones and mysterious ones, all waiting to be explored. Maybe you'll be the first to prove the existence of the monster of Loch Ness

 

Scotland's breathtaking rivers are home not only to a good portion of salmon, but to the rare freshwater pearl mussels and the recently reintroduced European beaver as well.

 

Watch the video below and enjoy a short presentation of Scotland's beautiful nature.
