The Highlands and Islands lie to the north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault, which runs from Arran to Stonehaven. This part of Scotland largely comprises ancient rocks from the Cambrian and Precambrian which were uplifted during the later Caledonian Orogeny. It is interspersed with igneous intrusions of a more recent age, the remnants of which have formed mountain massifs such as the Cairngorms and Skye Cuillins.

  

                                 

 

 

Superb days out or in Edinburgh`s case two weeks of shows ,acts and tons of free performances. Glasgow now has its own Westend festival which gets bigger every year and ends with a superb parade of bands and dancers. Shetland Island`s Up Helly aa  is my favourite. For one day in January [Lerwick the capital] returns to the days of the Vikings.

Highlight being being the parade and burning of the Long ship. 

      

 Walking is Scotland is superb .

Gentle strolls along  famous river banks,Long distance hikes likes the West Highland way ,Hillwalking or the craze of Munro Bagging. Munro`s are mountains over 3000ft. The views are stunning so take your camera.
