Unspoilt by large cities, the Highlands breathe fresh air into the hustle and bustle of our modern day lives. But they’re anything but remote. Sport, theatre, music, dance, art, food and drink are as important a part of the modern Highland scenery as the mountains, lochs and glens. No picture or film can truly do the Highlands justice; some things you just need to see for yourself.

 

Highland 2007 brought the best of the Highlands into sharper focus, for Highlanders themselves as much as the rest of Scotland and the world. So much of what is regarded today as Scottish culture can trace its roots to the Highlands. The year may be over but the legacy continues, with events like Highland Feast giving visitors a real taste for the region. Follow the links on the left to relive the best of Highland 2007, find your own part of the Highlands to visit or get to know the area from an Inverness base.
