Shrouded in historical beauty, the Highlands have been an inspiration for writers and artists for eons. How does renting a vacation cottage surrounded by the greatest wilderness in the British Isles sound?! There are cottages to rent across the Highlands, from the gorgeous area around Ben Nevis, Scotland’s highest mountain, to the enchanting Isle of Skye of the west coast, and the infamous John o’ Groats in the far, far north of the country

There are a handful of cottages for rent, however, with 4 or 5 bedrooms for those who require more space. They are located in gorgeous natural habitats, guaranteeing you complete seclusion at the foothills of craggy mountains, on the rugged coast of the Scottish islands, or next to fast flowing rivers that will serenade you to sleep.

The Highlands for families

If you want your children to grow up appreciating nature, then a vacation to the Highlands is a great start!
