The Scottish mountains are located mostly to the north of the country in the Highlands. The Grampian Mountains comprise one of three main ranges in the region. The gem of the range is Ben Nevis, which at 1,345 meters above sea level is the highest peak in Britain. Beyond the rugged hills and mountains, there are castles, bagpipes, kilts, whisky, thistles and the Loch Ness monster that are all part of the Scottish mystique, which makes traveling to the UK’s northernmost country fascinating
