Calling all lovers of the countryside, the Isle of Skye is shouting your name. This is a tour into the beating heart of the Scottish Highlands.

After departing Inverness you’ll head alongside Loch Ness, so be sure to keep an eye out for the monster as you hurtle by. Soak up the surrounding countryside, and the lochs before feasting your eyes on Eilean Donan castle. As romantic a sight as you’ll see. Your local guide will ensure you learn about the region, the stories and the legends. From the fighting clans to tales and myths. 

Onto the Isle of Skye, and into Portree, where you can enjoy the beautiful harbour and then explore the island, taking in Old Man of Storr, Lealt Falls and Kilt Rock. All this before being transported home.
