You’ll be travelling very close to where I live (between Inverness and Dingwall).
I’m a bit confused by you saying that the Highlands are in Central Scotland. They’re in the north and northwest. Central Scotland is the Glasgow/Edinburgh belt mainly.
Most traveller's do not go south of Edinburgh and Glasgow unless they are driving from UK. If you fly, highlands would be north of there and more central. Killin, Glencoe, Fort William, Inverness, Pitlochry. That whole loop.
Yes, west of Loch Ness could also be considered highlands, but I would consider it slightly different due to the prevalence of the islands and the distinction between mountain and marine relief. North of Inverness and west to Ullapool would be a remote highland area.
I am thinking of a pure tourist point of view, not from a local perspective.
Awesome article. I've only been to Glasgow but I would love to go do some hiking in the Highlands eventually. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much. I can't wait to explore in September. I've left room for wandering.
It seems I will also be visiting a ski hill so my husband can discuss patrol techniques. Oh yeah...

Does that make sense?
Not to me. When I travel, I do my research based on the geographical areas of a country and how they are named in that country. But each to their own.
