From traditional ceilidh dances to hearty Highland feasts, there's no shortage of ways to connect with the spirit of the land and its people. Be sure to sample some traditional Scottish fare, such as haggis or cranachan, and raise a glass of fine Scotch whisky to toast to the beauty of the Highlands.
