Take a road trip through the Scottish Highlands
One of the best ways to take in as much of the Scottish Highlands’ natural beauty as possible is by going on a road trip. The region has so much to offer that you can easily spend weeks getting lost in its rugged landscape. Still, no matter how much time you have to spend in the Scottish Highlands, one thing’s for sure- choose to go glamping rather than renting a room at a hotel. Stay in the heart of nature, on its rolling hills, or at the edge of one of its dense woodlands. These are the top glamping spots in the Highlands, UK.
