Scottish Highlands

Scotland is not a checklist destination; it does not reveal itself in a particular constellation of castles or battlefields, but in its quiet and weather and heroic landscapes. It is a certain kind of experience one is after, an experience of which leisure itself is a more essential component than any single historic site. The best strategy may actually be to let go of strategy altogether – to stay in one place long enough to unpack, develop an indulgent breakfast routine, hone a new skill, nap on drizzly afternoons and see as many or as few castles as each day seems to warrant.
