As the last stronghold of the Ice Age on earth, unlike the hustle and bustle of towns and the leisure of the countryside, the Scottish Highlands are rough, lonely, and cold.


Like a weather-beaten old man, he tells you what he has seen and heard over the years with his low and magnetic voice.


Scotland's islands are home to breathtaking sights, and they're one of the few places in the world that haven't been ravaged by tourism. So, pack your bags early before the hordes of travelers flock to it!


Nestled in the ocean between Scotland and Norway, these islands are just off the coast, with deep blue waters, white sandy beaches and some fantastic British vibes.


What's the best way to visit these islands? Road Trip of course! Driving in the Scottish Highlands has become increasingly popular in Scotland as a way to create a special holiday on one's own.


This type of travel is also great for dog owners, as there are enough idyllic landscapes for you to go for a walk. Most of the islands have built roads, which are very convenient for driving, but there are still some small islands that only have rural roads.


1. Arran Island


Aran Island is bounded by the highland fault line and can be divided into two distinct parts. The north is rugged and mountainous, with a maximum elevation of 2,886 feet, while the south is lush and green looking. Meanwhile, there is an award-winning hotel in the south, which is perfect for travelers who want to stay in the area for a few days.


2. Islay


The islands of Scotland actually have beaches, of which the beautiful Islay has twenty of them. Many roads on Islay have only one lane. As you drive around the island, you'll find everyone you see waving at you. The locals are very hospitable, so you should do as the locals do and say hello to them in a friendly way.


3. Loch Ness


Loch Ness is probably the most famous attraction on a trip to the Scottish Highlands. There is no lake in the world that is so vast and vast. Thick fog lingers around the lake all year round.


You can drive to the shores of Loch Ness to explore the nearby hamlet and Fort William, where the unparalleled sunrise and sunset are well worth watching.


4. Jura


The island of Jura is perfect for wildlife lovers with its many wildlife such as otters, golden eagles, and deer to name a few. The road on the Isle of Jura also has only one lane, but its scenery is indeed one of the most beautiful in the Scottish Isles.


5. The Hebrides


If you're traveling by car simply because you love to drive, a trip to the Hebrides is sure to be fun to drive. The roads in the Hebrides stretch for 100 miles and the winding roads will bring back the sights of the Norwegian fjords. Locals speak Gaelic and English, and an array of wildlife and ancient landmarks will make your holiday unforgettable.
