Beaches
Luskentyre on the Isle of Harris regularly makes the lists of top beaches in the world, and is often mistaken for the Caribbean.
Dark Skies and Northern Lights
Scotland has some of the darkest skies in Europe, making it a perfect place to view the night skies. Galloway Forest Park is one of the darkest places in Scotland, which is why it’s the UK’s first Dark Sky Park. Moffat in Dumfries and Galloway was given the title of Europe’s very first Dark Sky Town, having adopted special street lighting to keep light pollution to a minimum.

Wonderful walks
