This is Scotland without the rush.
Day 1 - Edinburgh to Fort William
Your Highland adventure begins with doorstep collection in Edinburgh before heading north towards the spectacular landscapes of Perthshire and the Highlands.
The Kelpies
Begin your journey with a visit to Scotland's magnificent Kelpies. Standing 30 metres high beside the historic canals, these incredible horse-head sculptures celebrate the importance of working horses to Scotland's industrial heritage while also connecting to the ancient Scottish legend of the water horse.
Kilmahog Highland Coos
Meet Scotland's famous Highland cows at Kilmahog, where these gentle, shaggy icons are always a guest favourite. It's the perfect opportunity for photographs and a chance to get up close to one of Scotland's most recognisable animals.
Falls of Dochart
Visit the picturesque village of Killin, where the River Dochart tumbles dramatically beneath its historic bridge. Take a stroll, enjoy some photographs and perhaps stop for a coffee before continuing deeper into the Highlands.
Rannoch Moor
Journey across the vast wilderness of Rannoch Moor, one of the last great wild landscapes in Britain. Surrounded by mountains, lochs and ancient moorland, this is Scotland at its most dramatic.
Three Sisters of Glencoe
Continue through the spectacular landscape of Glencoe, one of Scotland's most famous and atmospheric Highland glens. Hear the story of the MacDonalds and the tragic Massacre of Glencoe while taking in the breathtaking mountains that surround you.
Glencoe Village
Glencoe Village - Nestled in one of Scotland’s most spectacular valleys, Glencoe is steeped in Highland history. The area is forever remembered for the tragic Massacre of Glencoe in 1692, when members of Clan MacDonald were killed by government troops. Today, the village offers a peaceful gateway to this remarkable landscape.
Glenfinnan Viaduct
Visit the world-famous Glenfinnan Viaduct, made famous around the world as part of the route of the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter films. Surrounded by magnificent Highland scenery, it's one of Scotland's most memorable photography locations.
Overnight in Fort William
At the end of your first day’s adventure, we’ll drop you off at your pre-booked accommodation in Fort William, allowing you the evening to relax, enjoy dinner, or do a little exploting of your own.
Wherever you choose to stay the night, whether it's a Boutique Hotel, Guest House or Glamping, we'll be there the following morning, to collect you and set off for another day exploring Scotland.
Day 2 - Fort William to the Isle of Skye
After breakfast, leave Fort William behind and travel west towards one of the most beautiful islands in the world.
Commando Memorial
Start the day with a visit to the Commando Memorial near Spean Bridge. This moving monument commemorates the British Commandos who trained in the Highlands during the Second World War, with spectacular views towards Ben Nevis.
The Great Glen
Travel through the spectacular Great Glen, a huge geological fault running across Scotland. Along the way, your guide will bring the landscape to life with stories of Highland clans, ancient battles, geology and the people who have called these remote glens home.
Eilean Donan Castle
Visit one of Scotland's most photographed castles. Standing on its own island where three sea lochs meet, Eilean Donan Castle has played an important role in Highland history and has been rebuilt and restored into the iconic castle you see today.
The Isle of Skye
Cross the Skye Bridge and enter the magical landscape of the Isle of Skye. - Known for its dramatic mountains, rugged coastline and legendary scenery, Skye feels like another world.
Sligachan
Stop at the historic Sligachan Bridge with spectacular views towards the Black Cuillin mountains. Hear the local legend of the Sligachan River and the promise of eternal beauty to anyone brave enough to dip their face into its waters.

Overnight in Skye
At the end of your first day on Skye, we’ll drop you off at your pre-booked accommodation allowing you more time on your own, or to enjoy a relaxing dinner or local nightlife. We'll be there bright and early the following morning, to collect you and continue on your next day discovering Scotland.
Day 3 - Discover the Isle of Skye
Today is dedicated entirely to exploring Skye, allowing you to experience the island without the pressure of trying to see everything in a few rushed hours.
Old Man of Storr
Visit one of Scotland's most recognisable landscapes. The enormous rock formations of the Old Man of Storr rise dramatically from the Trotternish Ridge and provide one of the most unforgettable views on the island.
Kilt Rock and Mealt Falls
Continue along the Trotternish Peninsula to Kilt Rock, where dramatic basalt cliffs resemble the pleats of a traditional Scottish kilt. Nearby, Mealt Falls plunges towards the sea, creating a spectacular sight when the wind catches the water.
The Quiraing
Journey through one of Skye's most extraordinary landscapes. The Quiraing is a spectacular collection of cliffs, pinnacles and hidden valleys created by ancient geological movements.
It's a photographer's dream and one of the places where Skye truly feels otherworldly.
The Fairy Glen
Discover the enchanting Fairy Glen near Uig, a wonderfully unusual landscape of small hills, rocky formations and winding paths.
It's a place where imagination and Highland folklore come together, and a favourite with visitors looking for something a little different.
