Other destinations in Scotland
Scotland has extensive wilderness areas, some of which have been proclaimed as National Parks:
The Cairngorms - a mountain range near Aviemore and the largest National Park in Scotland
Loch Lomond & the Trossachs - Scotland's first national park
Loch Ness - Scotland's most famous loch.
Many world-class scenic areas are not (yet) protected as National Parks, though some have other designations such as National Scenic Areas or Forest Parks. The Lochaber region contains the impressive Glencoe as well as Scotland's highest mountain, Ben Nevis. The Torridon and Wester Ross areas are also popular mountaineering destinations. Most popular of all with climbers are the Black Cuillin of Skye - but there's plenty of scope for walkers here as well.
It has many historic Islands. Islay is known as the Queen of Hebrides, has eight whisky distilleries, and you can still see today the parliament site of the Clan Donald from 1200 AD, when the Clan Donald ruled the western seaboard of Scotland. The Isle of Arran is also a fantastic destination.
