The clocks have sprung forward, and at last, the lighter nights are here! With the extra hours of daylight stretching into the evening, there’s no better time to enjoy the beauty of the Highlands. Whether it’s an after-work stroll along the coast, a sunset hike in the hills, or simply sitting outside soaking in the fresh air, the longer days bring a renewed sense of energy.

Spring in the Highlands is a special time, watching the landscape come to life, the first blooms appearing, and the wildlife stirring after the long winter. As the evenings grow brighter, there are more opportunities to explore, unwind, and truly make the most of this breathtaking part of the world.

The Inverness Castle Experience is set to open later this year as a gateway to the Highlands, inspiring visitors to stay longer and discover even more of this extraordinary region.
