Scotland conjures up so many unique images. Its many castles, battles, heritage and culture spring to mind. The highlands endear images where you tackle the  steep rugged mountain heights, visit fascinating islands, navigate down lochs and whistle as you walk through the winding glens.   South of the highlands are  inspirational images of picture postcard forests, rolling hills, country estates and pretty villages.  Finally, the Scotland of the borders, a land where one strolls the softer scenery and gentle hills and learns of architecture and poets such as Robbie Burns.

There are the remote crofters' cottages where a natural but tough life was spent digging the peat for the daily fire.  There are also the famous long haired highland cattle.  Scotland has its own wildlife too!  Capercaillie (a large European woodland grouse) of the Caledonian pine forests and ptarmigan (artic Grouse) of the heather moorlands and white mountain hares in the highlands.
