Scottish Highlands For 5 Days
Epic, the sea breeze is a never-ending song, and the deep blue mountains cover a layer of purple sky, edged with pink clouds, which is a little too small for Scotland. Pebbles cascade down from the mountain tops and then rush into the Scottish lochs, reflecting the changing scenery of the firmament. Many call Scotland the most picturesque region in Europe, and the Scottish Highlands, the last stronghold of the Ice Age, are like the end of the world, standing on the Scottish highlands and looking out over the sky; take a step forward and you have escaped the world. Here, where any one occasion ends, another opens. To be here is to stand at the gates of heaven, wait for the long-awaited letter from God's angels.
Day 1：Manchester > Windermere and Bowness > Glasgow
Peter Rabbit Museum is located in the small town of Bowness-on-Windermere. Even without Peter Rabbit, the Lake District is one of the largest of the eleven National Forests in England and Wales and has been named one of the world's top 50 must-see attractions.
St. Martin's Church, Windermere, in its millennium, had stained glass inserted to create a very splendid tower space. The church building is designated Grade I on the National Heritage List for England.
Wainwright describes Orrest Head as "the first glimpse of a mountain range strewn in glistening waters, an awakening to beauty" and as "the perfect ending to a life of wandering bliss".
Day 2：Luss Village > Callender > Kilchurn Castle >
Ben Nevis > Glen Nevis > Glenfinnan Viaduct >
Fort William Duncansburgh Macintosh Parish Church > West Highland Museum > Ben Nevis Distillery
Loch Lomond, the second longest and deepest loch in Scotland and one of the most famous in the world, is a blue-grey loch beneath a vast expanse of fog. Surrounded by towering mountains, the deep blue waters of the loch reflect the dark green hills.
Glenfinnan is a fabulous landscape that attracts Harry Potter fans from all over the world. The bridge arch has 21 holes and the whole bridge cuts through the valley in a graceful curve, with steam trains travelling over it through time.
Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain, can be seen on the drive. It is affectionately known as 'Ben' to the neighbourhood residents, like the boy next door. The towering peak is shrouded in mist for over 300 days a year, with snow at the top all year round, and 4k views!
Day 3：Fort William > Isle of Skye > Fort Augustus
Eilean Donan Castle
One of the world's most famous castles, the castle is connected to the land by a stone bridge across the loch, with a picturesque view of the loch and the old castle, and is the most famous castle in Scotland.
Portree, which means 'King's Harbour', is the capital of Sky Island and is the backdrop for many postcards and photographs of the small row of houses in Portree.
The Old Man of Storr, one of the iconic attractions on the North Island of Sky Island, is a huge, craggy rock on The Storr, which comes from the Norwegian word for great man.
The Scottish kilt cliffs stretching away into the distance, facing the endless Atlantic Ocean, are known as Kilt Rock because of the resemblance of the rock to the Scottish Kilt skirt, a Tartan-checked skirt with ruffled sides that replaces men's suits at formal Scottish events and is an essential element of festive celebrations.
Day 4：Drumnadrochit > Loch Ness >Edinburgh
Pitlochry has been a famous holiday destination in England since Victorian times and Natsume Soseki is said to have stayed here during his studies in London.
Urquhart Castle is one of the best known and largest ancient castles in the Scottish Highlands. It is said that the defenders once blew it up themselves to keep it safe from the enemy. But even though the main tower has collapsed in half, it still retains its majesty.
Day 5：Edinburgh > Manchester
Calton Hill, a famous hill with several neoclassical monuments and a view of the city skyline and Edinburgh Castle from its summit.
