Lonely Planet just announced their top regions to visit in 2019, and alongside Northern Peru, Gujarat in India and the Far East of Russia; the Scottish Highlands and Islands have been named in the list! But what makes this part of Scotland so good to Lonely Planet?
Whisky

There's been 20 distilleries opened in the Highlands and Islands in the past two years, and there's plans for 20 more to open by 2020.

Scotland does whisky better than anyone else in the world, so it is completely worth the visit!
