Highland Drama to Island Lochs & Castles
The Scottish Highlands. A place where wild, raw and dramatic terrain gives way to quaint hamlets and cozy pubs. Where places delight with names like Fairy Lochs and River Snizort. From Loch Ness and the Isles of Skye and Raasay to Beinn Eighe Nature Reserve, be mesmerized as you trek along forested trails, near dramatic cliffs and past idyllic coves with dolphins in the distance. And when you're ready to put up your feet, an afternoon tea or a Scottish ale will be calling your name.
Highlights
- Discover why Scotland is a hiker's paradise as you explore the wild Scottish Highlands including the Isles of Skye and Raasay and the region's famous lochs
- Wind through geologically tangled terrain and mossy forest trails, gazing up at massive coastal mountains and over open moorland
- Relax at a private Scottish whisky and gin tasting, enjoy the area's best ales, taste delicious local seafood and dig into traditional pub fare
- Learn about the local culture and lore of colorful towns, historical landmarks and perhaps come face to face with Nessie of Loch Ness!
