Life in the Scottish Highlands
8,000 Acres of Majestic Highland Landscape
A Unique Experience
Highland living offers a great quality of life, with plentiful opportunities to enjoy outdoor pursuits in a stunning setting. If you are used to bustling city life however, you should think carefully about whether Skibo is for you.
Outdoor Life
Situated in the Highlands, there are plenty of opportunities to get out into the wilderness and experience the outdoors, whether you enjoy hill walking, rock climbing, road cycling, mountain biking, canoeing or sea kayaing. You can also drive the North Coast 500 and discover one of Scotland’s most scenic coastal routes.
