With its breathtaking landscape, the region is often used as a film set, for example for "Highlander", "Braveheart" or "James Bond: Skyfall". Go on endless hikes and enjoy the viewpoints, for example around the Three Sisters mountains, or climb a few peaks yourself, such as those of the Munro Mountains or the impressive Buachaille Etive Mòr massif.
