From the shores of Loch Lomond to the battlefield of Culloden.

From the Munros of Cairngorms National Park to the distilleries along the River Spey.

From the mountains and valley of Glencoe to the castles along the River Dee.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg!

This episode on the Central Highlands of Scotland is jam-packed with so many destinations and sites that you will be adding more places to your Scottish bucket list. I certainly have!

Bo Fraser, a Blue Badge guide with the Scottish Tourist Guides Association, returns as our guest. And she is going to offer up more incredible information on destinations in her home country.

We'll cover Scotland's lake district, the stunning Glencoe, the under-visited Royal Deeside, the city of Aberdeen, Cairngorms National Park, ancient Kilmartin Glen, Rannoch Moor, historic Culloden, Speyside (whisky distilleries) and so much more.

Seriously, there is so much in this episode!

Bo, a St Andrews native, knows so much about her home country. So you are going to learn a lot about the Highlands of Scotland.
