Spring is the most spectacular time of year in the Highlands, with the bright yellow broom and gorse fighting for attention with the lambs, calves and wildlife. It’s an incredible sight and not to be missed. It’s also quieter than the busy summer time so many people find it more enjoyable. The seemingly infinite open space is here to greet you, as is a warm open fire for the evening. It’s tiring work monster hunting after all…
