You're not trying to keep all that beauty to yourself are you Highlander?   ;)

I have the most wonderful view from my living room window out to a small forest with, deer, pheasants, badgers birds of prey etc., then to the ruins of Slains Castle, across to Cruden Bay and out to the North Sea where we can watch the Shetland ferry go passed every evening. 
I sometimes take it for granted, until we have a visitor that tells us what fabulous views we have and then I again realise how luck we are to live in Scotland.

I do hope that people living in Scotland look after these lovely places. Elsewhere the habits of inhabitants are not encouraging. On my recent visit to Scotland I took a bus from Edinburgh to Glasgow along the M8. I know a motorway is not a beauty spot, and habits will be different, but I don't recall travelling along any stretch of road anywhere (including Turkey) where there are greater drifts of litter along the roadside. This was especially true in the few miles after service stations where throwing your used food packaging out of the window seemed to be standard practice. Not pleasant.

The west coast of Scotland takes some beating, we first visited in 1970 and have been back numerous times over the years. I was also a "Munroe Bagger".

We were backpackers for many years and Scotland has some of the best walking in the world. To celebrate our 60th birthday we walked the west highland way. A seven day trip that has some stunning scenery including Glencoe and Rannoch Moor where even the sheep get lost there.

Another area we like missed by most is Dumfries and Galloyway with some stunning scenery.

Highlander I'm very envious of you living there. Another favorite is the The Black Isle not far from you unless my memory fails me again.
