Scotland: The Highlands & the Isle of Skye

Easy to Moderate Terrain: 2 - 7 Miles Daily

GB-SCOTLAND

Your adventure begins on “The Bonnie Banks o’ Loch Lomond,” the largest inland stretch of water in Great Britain by surface area. Then continue to the spectacular grandeur of Glencoe with its wild mountain range. The Isle of Skye, buffering Scotland’s northwest from the Atlantic, contrasts rocky shoreline and plunging cliffs with soft white-sand beaches and timeless villages in placid bays. Our final location has been on the tourist map since the arrival of the railroad more than 150 years ago: the vibrant Pitlochry, with its Victorian Scottish Baronial architecture. Your walks reveal the rugged Scottish interior, coastal headlands, distant views of islands and mainland, and waters shimmering among verdant pastures. Scotland’s history comes alive along the way, in stories true and tall, with iconic sights, legendary castles, and country-house hotels. Along the way, your hotels exude comfort, coziness, and elegance while your meals showcase creative Scottish fare, from freshly caught salmon to handmade whisky.


Tour Highlights:
  • Sample the smooth and smoky handmade Scotch whisky of Bells Blair Athol Distillery, one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland, established in 1798.
  • Learn about the massacre of Glencoe, which took place in 1692 in the very area you explore.
  • Walk among the pastel-hued fishing villages and along the staggering high cliffs of the Isle of Skye.
