Take a break in the Scottish Highlands

Those looking for an action-packed holiday far away from the madding crowds should consider taking a break in the Scottish Highlands.

That is the advice of Travelbite.co.uk which has highlighted the rugged charms of the wild countryside north of Hadrian's wall.

Keen mountain bikers will be pleased to know that the Forestry Commission in Scotland has provided enthusiasts and beginners alike with an extensive network of trails throughout the area.

Follow one of them and you could end up hurtling along the new Wildcat Mountain Bike Track, hopefully at a speed which will allow you to take in the wonderful backdrop of Ben Bhraggie and Dunrobin Woods.

Pack a surfboard with you and you could sample the cool Atlantic rollers off the coast of Thurso, which only last year hosted a European Surfing Championships qualifier.

Some beautiful golf courses will allow you to both unwind and admire some stunning Celtic scenery.

There's the championship course at Royal Dornech for starters, endorsed by eight-time major winner Tom Watson and ranked among the top 15 links courses in the world.

Book some online travel insurance, have a 'wee dram' of Scottish whiskey and start planning that highland jaunt.
