The Highlands is the area north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault (from Arran and Helensburgh on the west coast stretching across to Stonehaven in the east). It is the uppermost part of Scotland (made up of six smaller regions) and home to famous attractions such as Ben Nevis and Loch Ness, towns (notably Fort William, Nairn and Aviemore) and the “City of the Highlands” - Inverness. Traditionally visitors wishing to experience the beautiful Scottish outdoors will travel to the Highlands to visit the scenic lochs, tall snow capped, mountains, vast glens, ancient monuments as well as the beaches and bays along North Scotland’s iconic coastline. Seals, puffins, whales and dolphins are often spotted on these shores. You may want to try to catch a glimpse of the infamous Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights), walk amongst the The Highlands varied wildlife and flora or appreciate the breath-taking Scottish landscapes as part of your Highland experience.

  • Supplementary Submission from Highlands and Islands Enterprise
    SUPPLEMENTARY SUBMISSION FROM HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS ENTERPRISE Examples of Best Practice in Partnership Working at the Local Level In our written submission we referred to the role of the ‘Tourism Framework for Action’ in stimulating businesses and public bodies to work together to achieve improvements in industry performance. The recently formed, industry led, Tourism Innovation Group (TIG), is leading in the delivery of many of the actions in the Framework and is already utilising the best practice experience and expertise gained by a number of Highlands and Islands businesses at the local level in the context of the wider partnership which TIG creates with HIE, the Area Tourist Boards, VisitScotland and HIE. Business members of TIG from the Highlands and Islands include specialists in the operation of visitor attractions, activity holidays, accommodation and transport. The essential point is that TIG provides a proactive forum within which businesses from the Highlands and Islands, in bringing their local experience and expertise, are able to interact with VisitScotland, the Area Tourist Boards, HIE and Scottish Enterprise. The dissemination of best practice from these business practitioners facilitates the process of forming and implementing strategy at local and national levels. Some examples of best practice in partnership working at local level between HIE, Area Tourist Boards and VisitScotland are : THE CAITHNESS WILDLIFE TOURISM PROJECT The objectives of the project are to improve the wildlife product and experience as a key niche market for visitors to the north and, through increased understanding, to help ensure the protection of the wildlife and the local environment. Partners in the project are Caithness and Sutherland Enterprise; VisitScotland; the Highlands of Scotland Tourist Board; Highland Council; Scottish Natural Heritage; RSPB; and the Tourism and Environment Forum.

  • Channel 5, Playground and MASTERPIECE on PBS Announce Cast for All Creatures Great and Small
    EMBARGOED UNTIL 7:01PM ET TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 24TH Channel 5, Playground And MASTERPIECE On PBS Announce Cast For All Creatures Great And Small Newcomer Nicholas Ralph to play beloved vet James Herriot opposite Samuel West, Anna Madeley, Callum Woodhouse and Rachel Shenton Channel 5, BAFTA and Golden Globe-winning production company Playground (Howards End, Wolf Hall) and MASTERPIECE on PBS today announced the casting of key roles for their upcoming adaptation of best-selling author James Herriot’s cherished collection of stories, written by Ben Vanstone (The Last Kingdom) and directed by Brian Percival (Downton Abbey). Exciting newcomer Nicholas Ralph will make his television debut as the iconic vet who became renowned for his inspiring compassion, humour and love of life. Samuel West (Mr. Selfridge, On Chesil Beach) joins as Siegfried Farnon, the wonderfully eccentric veteri- nary surgeon and proprietor of Skeldale House who reluctantly hires the recently qualified Herriot into his rural practice. Mrs Hall, the resident housekeeper and matriarch of Skeldale House will be played by Anna Madeley (The Child in Time, Patrick Melrose). Siegfried’s errant and charismatic younger brother, Tristan, will be played by Callum Woodhouse (The Durrells in Corfu). Rachel Shenton (Switched at Birth, White Gold) takes the role of Helen Alderson, an independent local farmer’s daughter who helps her father manage the family farm and care for her younger sister. “This is an exceptional cast made up of a wonderful mix of exciting new and established talent,” says executive producer Colin Callender. “Re-visiting the world of All Creatures Great and Small is like going home and re-discovering old friends whom we haven’t seen in years.
