Highlands in only 3 days...

Ana_Mello

Hi everyone and thank you for having me in this community!

I am a brazilian who lives in Australia now. My husband and I are going to spend 3 days (only) in the Highlands for the first time this coming April and we will have a rental car.

Could you please suggest us the best views for this short time frame?

Thank you so very much!
Ana

Hey @Ana_Mello am not sure how much you're willing to drive a day and also if 3 days means 3 nights or 2 nights. It would also be helpful to know if you have some must-see places in the highlands.

If I were to stay only 3 nights with up to 5 hours of driving a day, I'd stay at Glencoe / Glen Nevis (Night 1), Portree / Silgachan Isle of Skye (Night 2), Torridon / Applecross (Night 3). For me, these 3 places define the Scottish Highlands.
