2 ott 2021 · Some understanding of Scottish history is essential if you are to get any real feel for a country with such a turbulent past. Our single page History of Scotland gives an overview, but this timeline is intended to give more detail in an easily accessible format. The Timeline is divided into 18 pages to make it easier to use. They are:
- Loch Glencoul, Assynt
- Cluanie, Scottish Highlands
- Cairnpapple Hill, West Lothian
- The Four Border Abbeys, Scottish Borders
- Falls of Glomach, Scottish Highlands
- Bealach Na Bà, Applecross
- Handa Island, Inner Hebrides
- Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve, Scottish Highlands
- Glen Feshie, Cairngorms National Park
- Loch Ossian, Rannoch Moor
Loch Glencoul and the bothy that sits at its head is one of my favourite secret places in Scotland. You can gaze out to the loch from the parking area at Kylesku bridge, but the best views of the loch are from Glencoul bothy. A trip to Glencoul bothy is suited to the adventurous. To get to the bothy you need to hike from Inchnadamph or Kylesku thro...
Many people drive right by Cluaniein favour of reaching Eilean Donan Castle or the Isle of Skye without realising this hidden gem. Cluanie has some of the best hiking in Scotland that is very much off the beaten track. The section from Cluanie to Morvichon the Cape Wrath Trail is one of Scotland’s most spectacular trails. Loch Cluanieis located nea...
West Lothian isn’t known as a tourist hotspot, however, it offers plenty of non-touristy things to do in Scotland, including manyinteresting historical attractions. Most people tend to whizz past West Lothian on their way to Glasgow or the highlands, but I highly recommend stopping at Cairnpapple Hill, an ancient burial and ceremonial ground that d...
Visiting the Four Border Abbeysin the Scottish Borders makes for a wonderful day trip from Edinburgh or Glasgow. The abbeys were all established in the 1100s and have spectacular architecture. Many think the majority of Scotland’s history lies in the highlands, but it is really in the Scottish Borders. It makes perfect sense, as ancient armies woul...
The Falls of Glomachis one of the tallest waterfalls in the United Kingdom, standing at 113 metres. This area is also one of the wildest places in Scotland. I once wild camped next to the falls; listening to the powerful waterfall through the walls of my tent is one of my fondest memories. To reach the Falls of Glomach you need to hike for three ho...
Bealach na Bàwas a nail-biting experience yet one of the most beautiful passes I’ve driven through. It is the third-highest road in Scotland at 626 metres, thus not for the faint-hearted! If driving from the east, the pass will take you to Applecross, a peninsula which is home to just a few hundred people. There is a car park at the top of the pass...
Located on the north-west coast, Handa Island is a good off-beat excursion if you’re driving the North Coast 500. Handa Island is a bird sanctuary and one of the best birdwatching sites in Scotland. Some of the birds you’ll see on Handa island include puffins, guillemots, razorbills , fulmars, kittiwakes and great skuas. One of my favourite memorie...
The Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserveis Britain’s first National Nature Reserve, and a nature lover’s playground. There is diverse wildlife in the nature reserve, including golden eagles, pine marten, and crossbills. I recommend hiking The Mountain Trail, Britain’s only waymarked mountain walk, which takes you through Scots pines and a scramble u...
Glen Feshie is a wildly beautiful glen that has inspired some of the United Kingdom’s greatest artists. From its enchanting Scots pinewoods to the River Feshiethat flows through the glen, it’s easy to understand why. The glen that Sir Edwin Landseer was referring to in his famous painting ‘The Monarch of the Glen’ is actually Glen Feshie! Landseer ...
Loch Ossian in Rannoch Mooris one of the wildest places in Scotland you can reach by public transport. I spent a weekend at Loch Ossianwith a girlfriend where we went hiking and had some much needed time to disconnect from our phones and be in nature. Loch Ossian itself is surrounded by munros and hiking trails suitable for all levels, making it th...
