The Highlands and Islands of Scotland are Europe''s last great wilderness: one of the few places in this increasingly cluttered continent where you can really get away from it all. Forget nightclubs or multi-screen cinemas.

Around every bend in the roads that wind their way through this vast region is a sight that leaves you (and me) testing the limits of your vocabulary in search of yet another appropriate adjective.
