This is a perfect spot to stretch your legs and enjoy the Highland atmosphere before heading deeper into the Highlands.

2. Rannoch Moor: Embark on a scenic drive across Rannoch Moor, one of Scotland's last true wildernesses. This vast, rugged landscape, with its peat bogs, lochs, and heather-covered moorland, is hauntingly beautiful. As you traverse this remote area, take in the panoramic views and the sense of solitude that this untouched wilderness offers.
