Eco-friendly travel
- Tap water is safe to drink. Bring a refillable bottle. Don't buy bottled water.
- Stay on paths: moss takes decades to grow back.
- Only camp on campsites, and park overnight only where allowed.
- Don't stack stones (cairns) or leave any trace.
- Choose responsible whale-watching and glacier tours.
- Fill up and plan your stops: distances are long and stations rare in the highlands.
