The region of Scotland that stretches from the historic town of Stirling to the island of Tiree is sometimes known as the Scottish Heartlands - an area of vast contrasts and stunning natural attractions, including the Trossachs, Loch Lomond and the islands of the inner Hebrides.
There are ample opportunities for outdoor activities throughout the area, with gentle walking, cycling and riding in the south and serious hill-walking (and thrilling off-road biking and trail-riding) in the rugged mountains in the north. There is wonderful sailing off the west coast and around the islands, and a whole host of inland watersports possibilities too - and all within easy reach of Glasgow and Edinburgh.
