Why this map is perfect for your travels
I’ve spent over 20 years exploring the Scottish Highlands in search of the best adventures and unforgettable routes. And I’m sharing years of research, experiences, and discoveries in this guide and map to help you make the most of your time — and fall in love with Scotland along the way.
This isn’t just a list of tourist spots. It’s the places I actually take friends and family when they visit, alongside practical advice like how to get around, where to go and the best times to visit, and even parking. It’s all organised into an easy-to-use, fully interactive Google Map with 200+ pins — so you can plan ahead and take it with you on the road.

What areas are covered?
Routes from Edinburgh or Glasgow to Oban, Loch Lomond, Glencoe, Fort William, Glenfinnan, Loch Ness, and Inverness. Route home follows a shorter, direct route via Callander.
Why will it help?
This guide saves you hours of planning time, eliminates overwhelm, and ensures you see the best of the Highlands — from the iconic to the unforgettable-but-unmarked.
Think of it like having a local friend in your pocket — someone who’s spent 20+ years travelling every back road, trying every tearoom, and knows exactly where to stop for the best views (and where the car parks actually are).
It’s a small investment for a much better trip — one that’s smoother, easier, and filled with jaw-dropping moments you might otherwise miss.
