Living in the Highlands

The Highlands of Scotland, the northernmost mainland region of the British Isles, which boasts some of the most rugged and breathtakingly beautiful scenery in Europe, has always maintained a strong sense of individuality. This is the land of the Picts, the Gaels and the Vikings, all of whom left behind their imprint on the land.
Modern-day Highland living has to deal with the same problems that have always prevailed: remoteness and an unpredictable climate. Yet those who choose to live among the underpopulated mountains, lochs and glens would never wish to live anywhere else, and have created homes and interiors of distinctive appeal and considerable comfort.
Reflecting the mix of tradition and style in the Highlands — tartans, tweeds and natural materials; sports, fishing and stalking; dancing; the traditional march to the Lonach Highland Games; a visit to sumptuous Inveraray Castle; a Burns Night dinner with the ‘Toast to the Haggis’ — Lesley Astaire and Roddy Martine present another intriguing face of Scotland, beautifully captured in Eric Ellington’s wealth of photographs. |
