蘇格蘭高地
蘇格蘭西北部的山地、湖泊和海島,包括格倫科峽谷、尼斯湖、天空島和高地鐵路。
蘇格蘭高地泛指高地邊界斷層以北和以西的山地與海島,文化上是蓋爾語和氏族傳統的核心地帶。它比「高地」議會區更寬,常包括阿蓋爾和凱恩戈姆。核心看點:格倫科峽谷與英國最高峰本尼維斯山所在的威廉堡;從威廉堡到馬萊格的「哈利·波特」蒸汽火車和格倫芬南高架橋;艾琳多南城堡;天空島的老人峰、奎雷因山和仙女池;因弗內斯與尼斯湖、厄克特城堡;以及斯佩塞的威士忌酒廠。經典線路:愛丁堡或葛拉斯哥出發,經洛蒙德湖、格倫科、威廉堡、天空島、因弗內斯,再由凱恩戈姆返回,自駕 5-7 天;若加上 NC500 北海岸環線需再加 4-5 天。交通方面,自駕最自由,但高地多單車道,需在會車點讓行;也可以選擇愛丁堡出發的 1-3 日巴士團,或乘西高地鐵路。天氣多變,一天四季,防水外套必備;夏季西海岸的蠓蟲很多,需備驅蟲劑。
