Hotels in Highlands, United Kingdom

The Scottish Highlands cover the northern third of Scotland, with a cool, wet climate where summer highs rarely hit 65°F (18°C) and winter lows drop to 32°F (0°C). Famous for its rugged mountains and ancient castles, you can hike the Quiraing on the Isle of Skye in summer or visit the battlefield of Culloden near Inverness in the drier spring months. In winter, try skiing at Cairn Gorm, while autumn brings golden heather across Glen Coe-just bring a waterproof jacket.
