Off the Beaten Track: The Highlands is a thoughtfully curated guide revealing the hidden joys of the Highlands, including where to eat well, explore and rest along the way.

There are few places that leave their mark on you more than The Scottish Highlands. From pristine white-sand beaches and soaring mountains to thick pine forests, heathery peatlands and shimmering lochs, this is one of those rare places on Earth that seems to expand and grow more fascinating the longer you spend exploring it.

Each chapter of this guide lays out a hand-picked selection of places to sample local flavours and find a home away from home in this beautiful region, as well as inspiration for activities that embrace the seasons. Whether you’re looking for breathtaking views from a day spent hiking, deep lochs for bathing, miles of rugged empty beach, the perfect pub for ale and oysters or a waterside eco bothy to switch off from the outside world, there’s something for everyone here.
