Walkhighlands’ Virtual Highlands is now available in high resolution for most of Scotland. This is possible as Google has updated its satellite imagery of the Scottish Highlands, making programs such as Google Maps, Google Earth et al. show the area in high resolution for the first time.

Virtual Highlands allows you to see an interactive view from any summit; for example, click here for the view from Ben Starav. You can then use the cursor keys to look left and right, and to walk forwards or back. A button allows switching between overhead and first-person view so you can change your location.
