Favorite Historical Highland Place?
What is your favorite, historically significant place to visit in the Highlands?
If you wish, please explain why?
* Or anywhere else in Scotland you want to talk about that might be interesting.

Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

I've expanded it to include anywhere in Scotland that might be interesting.

Stirling Castle is my favorite place to visit in Scotland. I really love the Argyle and Sutherland Museum. Although on my last trip to Edinburgh I visited Craigmillar Castle and found it to be pretty much as awesome as a castle can be. I had been to Edinburgh on several occasions and never even new about Craigmillar which is quite a shame because it is a fantastic place to explore.

Iona, and the churchyard where the kings of Ireland and Scotland were buried through the middle ages.

I'd like to visit the area around Dumfries...
Not at all in the Highlands, though...
Best,
Robert

I would love to see Loch Awe and the surrounding area.
Of course, since I never been to Scotland, seeing any of it would be great.
I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

Thank you. I've been looking up these places in my books on Scotland. Probably the best I can do.
