神秘的高地总是让人联想到被风蹂躏的山顶、雄伟的湖泊和雄伟的城堡等浪漫画面。 即使从格拉斯哥或爱丁堡出发,也可能难以到达,但一旦到达,你就会庆幸自己的努力。

该地区最受欢迎的旅游景点之一,也是世界上最容易辨认的城堡之一:艾琳多南(Eilean Donan)(见本页面顶部图片)。 该城堡因《高地人》电影而闻名,位于湖泊中央,只能通过一条古老的堤道到达。

崎岖的西部海岸线上还有一些风景如画的村镇,包括普洛克顿(Plockton),以其迷人的历史中心而闻名,同时也是众多棕榈树的家园,它们受益于墨西哥湾流带来的温暖气候。

高地也是英国最高山峰本尼维斯的所在地,其海拔高度为1344米。 本尼维斯地区还有因弗洛奇城堡,该城堡由科曼家族的首领黑科曼(John the Black Comyn)于1275年建造。 就其年代而言,它的保存状况令人惊讶,现在被认为是苏格兰最古老的石头堡垒之一。

三个主要的战役地点也位于高地。 其中第一个是名字很好听的斯波林戴克战役,这是一个残酷的例子,说明到了16世纪末,氏族战争仍在继续。

第二个主要战役地点是格伦希尔战役,1719年,雅各布派与西班牙人联手,试图将国王乔治一世赶下王位。

最后的战场是最近的布雷斯之战,斯凯岛庄稼人的大规模抗议活动以格拉斯哥的50名警察被叫去恢复法律和秩序而告终。
