North-east Highlands

-> Scotland -> North-east Highlands

The north-east Highlands covers the area north of Inverness to John O' Groats at the north-east tip of mainland Scotland westwards to Loch Eriboll on the northern coast.  The A9 to Wick and the A836 along the north coast are the main access routes through this area which is less mountainous and more barren than further south and is also less frequented by tourists.  However, there are some gems worth visiting, including the Black Isle, the fine golf links which line the coast up to Golspie, the spa town of Strathpeffer, the fishing villages and the sandy beaches and rugged coastline of the north coast.  The many rivers, lochs and moors in the north are popular for fishing and shooting.  The southern part of this region was heavily influenced by the Picts, whereas the northern part was inhabited by Norsemen.

Areas:
