What to expect
You'll spend the day in a well-appointed car with two brothers who grew up in these hills. The itinerary isn't rigid; Rowan and Andy respond to conditions and what interests you. Expect winding roads through glens, stops at viewpoints worth photographing, and genuine conversation rather than scripted commentary. The nine hours includes travel time, so plan for roughly 5–6 hours of active exploration depending on where you venture. Bring layers—Highland weather shifts quickly.
