They say you should keep your enemies closer…
For Fliss, the prospect of a team building work trip fills her with dread. Mostly because she cannot stand her pushy colleague James, who often attempts to derail her brilliant plans. But when the two arrive in the Scottish Highlands, they find themselves facing a unique challenge: their boss has abandoned them in the middle of nowhere with only one tent, two sleeping bags and a few protein bars.
Cut off from the outside world, the pair are forced to put aside their differences to weather the unpredictable elements of the Highlands and get home. As they set out on a journey across miles of rugged wilderness – pushing each other to survive and testing their physical and emotional limits – they remain fully aware of their boss’s manipulative plan to orchestrate a hook up between them.
But even with only each other for company, Fliss and James stand firm in their resolve: they won’t give in to any romantic notions. Or will they?

The beautiful scenery especially Loch Lomond. Great choice of restaurants – the food is delicious and I am a fussy vegetarian! Lovely, friendly people too. Would love to explore more of Scotland.
I have only been to Edinburgh, but it’s the amazing scenery, the walks the fresh air!
Love the colours of the Scottish scenery.
The scenery. I’ve not been to the Highlands but make sure to get beyond the city and there is a wonderful landscape to explore.
Love Edinburgh castle
The things I love most about Scotland is exploring the Highlands and in particular the Cairngorms National Park, Loch Ness, and taking a hike on the West Highland Way. My top tip for hiking in the Scottish Highlands is to plan ahead and ensure you have appropriate clothing and footwear as Scotland can get 4 seasons in one hour, never mind one day!
I love the food, especially Tablet, my granny used to make me it
I love all the picturesque walks and that you can wild camp
The best thing about Scotland is the diverse and beautiful scenery. It is difficult to drive anywhere without stopping regularly to appreciate the view. I married my Scottish husband over twenty years ago and we live in the south of England but visit Scotland every year. I love it.
My top tip is to buy the insect repellent bands as they work and last for ages .
Loved the architecture in Glasgow, also loved the shopping lol, not a fan of deep fried pizza though
The fish and chips
I love the scenery and lochs especially in the Dumfries and Galloway area.
I use Avon’s Skin so Soft body oil – it seems to help keep the midges away

Tip for insect repelent, I use Avon Skin so soft, rumoured to be used by the military, but I do love the smell.
I love Scotland because of the lovely scenery and fab food that I can get locally in Perthshire
I love the variety of the scenery. The lochs, hills and mountains all have a fascination of their own, whatever the season.
I like the Highlands with it’s gorgeous scenery.
The best thing about Scotland is the friendliness of the people. Also fabulous scenery is right up there.

I love Scotland – in my younger days, my parents would take us to different parts of Scotland during our half term holidays. Beautiful scenery and especially visiting the various lochs looking for Nessie.
The scenery in Scotland is absolutely stunning; from the mountains covered in heathers down to the beautiful lochs and everything in between it is just so pretty.
The Scottish scenery is amazing, so much wild coastline
I’m not an outdoorsy person so I would enjoy the highlands from the comfort of a luxury hotel, preferably one with good food!
The best thing about Scotland is the people. Love the Scots.
Scenery cannot be beaten anywhere, countryside and coastal. There is only ever one tip for a visit and that’s waterproofs!
The scenery is outstanding but my best tip is avoid the west coast if you are one of the unlucky folk midges flock towards like me!
Best: wonderful hiking with pointy mountains giving great sea views – and amazing wildlife such as otters and pine martens.
Top tips:
If you visit the highlands learn a few Gaelic words – you’ll understand the landscape much better.
Go to the far north in June – the sun barely sets.
Midges don’t come out on sunny or windy days, but if they do, a midge jacket is much better than midge repellant.
The grandeur of the landscape
Scotland’s Route 66 aka North Coast 500.
The breathtaking views and scenery
The Loch Ness monster, wether it is real or not the tale of it is so enchanting -best tip plenty of Mosquito spray or a full bee keepers protective suit LOL to keep the annoying things out

I love the mountains 🙂
I have visited Scotland only once and enjoyed it very much. I would love to return and see more one day. particularly Edinburgh, Stirling Castle and Glencoe.
I haven’t explored as much of Scotland as I would like yet, but it’s on the bucket list. I have however, been to Edinburgh lots of times and I adore it there. The walk up to the castle, the mysterious alleyways, the gorgeous cafes & restaurants. It’s such a magical city and one of my absolute favourites.
There are so many things I love about Scotland!
The scenery is stunning and the history, culture and traditions are so rich.
A good comfy pair of shoes are a must!
The people, I used to live in Scotland and it was the warmest, most welcoming place I have been

The beautiful scenery is amazing. Take garlic pills a few weeks before going to keep mosquitoes at bay.
I love the wild scenery of Scotland and shortbread biscuits.
For my favourite thing, I’m torn between the landscape and the history…
My tip for the Scottish Highlands is to look at public transport timetables and opening hours in advance, because I’ve been caught out before where maybe a bus and a train didn’t line up well or an attraction has been closing a short time after I arrive.
The best thing about Scotland is Edinburgh and everything about it!
I’ve never been to Scotland but my son and daughter in law got engaged there.
