West Coast Scotland

One of my personal favourite areas in Scotland, I return to the West Coast and Western Highlands time and time again.

This is an area of dramatic and unforgettable scenery: wild beaches, mountainscapes, breathtaking sunsets, and of course, iconic islands like the Isle of Skye.

There’s history too: Eilean Donan Castle is a must-visit on your route west.

It’s a place to savour a slower pace of life amongst quaint villages like Plockton, Glenelg, and Arisaig. To enjoy boutique hotels, devour exceptional seafood, and soak in gorgeous sunsets.

The best way to see the West Coast? On this stunning coastal road trip.
