Northern Lights

This one isn't so much a place to visit as it is a thing to do/see. The Northern Lights have amazed mankind for milenea and Scotland is one of the few countries that can see the Northern Lights.

Fort William to Mallaig - take the Jacobite Steam Train

This is also not a place to visit as it is a thing to do. Take this train journey that starts at the foot of Ben Nevis (highest mountain in the British Isles) in Fort William. Then you will cross the Glenfinnan Viaduct (featured in the iconic Harry Potter films) and pass the silver sands of Morar before arriving in the fishing port of Mallaig.
