The term Highland, or Upland, refers to regions of high elevation, including mountain ranges, lofty hills or elevated plateaus. Interestingly, the concept of 'highland' isn't localised to the United Kingdom. Indeed, you'll find 'highlands' spread across all corners of the globe, from the central pastures of Afghanistan, drenched in summer sun, to the picturesque terrain of Highland Papua in Indonesia.

The largest local government area in Britain is the Highland Council area in Scotland, showcasing a display of stunning mountainous landscapes. Of course, one cannot pass over the Highland areas in Britain, including the Pennines, Exmoor, Southern Uplands in Scotland or even the Dartmoor and North York Moors in England. Mystifying as it may be, similar highland features extend beyond the Earth, to the 'highland continents' or 'terrae' on planets Mercury, Venus, Mars and even the Moon!

When to visit Highland

Looking forward to immersing yourself in the Scottish Highlands? The ideal time to plan your visit is from June to August when the landscapes turn subtly vibrant and inviting. Lose yourself in the pleasantly warm summer temperatures, perfect for exploring. For those who prefer a less crowded experience and are keen on saving money, the spring and fall seasons offer a trade-off.

Surviving the bracing winters in the Highlands is a challenge reserved for the brave. However, snow enthusiasts surely wouldn’t mind the biting cold, as the ski resorts swing their doors open for a snowy delight during this season. Be a part of the traditional Highland Games, happening from May until September, a culture you won't want to miss!
