National Scenic Areas (Scotland)
There are 40 National Scenic Areas in Scotland, covering 13% of the country's land area which include spectacular mountain ranges, like the Skye Cuillins, Ben Nevis and Glencoe, island landscapes in the Hebrides and Northern Isles and richly diverse scenery such as in Perthshire, the Scottish Borders, and Dumfries and Galloway. The designation’s purpose is both to identify the finest scenery and to ensure its protection from inappropriate development.
They are broadly equivalent to the Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty found in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Stoer Head Lighthouse - Sutherland
Located on Stoer Head, north of Lochinver, Stoer Lighthouse is in a truly remote location. It's nestled in one of the furthest most peninsulas of Assynt, with the nearest neighbour in a small scattering of crofts over a mile away.
Dating back to the 1870s and automated in 1978, the lighthouse - which is currently used as a self-catering holiday rental - was designed by the father of novelist and poet, Robert Louis Stevenson.
The location is truly breathtaking and is one of Scotland's best places to spot whales, dolphins and porpoise. Weather permitting, basking sharks can be seen during the warmer summer months.
