About this tour
A seven-day small-group circuit (maximum 16 travellers) linking Glasgow to the Scottish Highlands and islands via coach, boat and foot. You'll traverse Loch Lomond and Glencoe, cross the Glenfinnan Viaduct, explore Skye's geological oddities—the Old Man of Storr, Quiraing, Fairy Pools—then ferry to the Outer Hebrides, visiting Lewis's Iron Age settlements and standing stones. The return leg cuts through Ullapool and Loch Ness to Inverness and Culloden before heading south to Edinburgh.

What to expect
You'll spend mornings and afternoons on a coach traversing single-track Highland roads, with short guided walks to viewpoints and archaeological sites. Two full days involve sea crossings—the first to Harris and Lewis, the second returning via Ullapool. Expect basic accommodation in small towns, windswept island landscapes, and moderate uphill sections on foot. Your guide will weave in local stories and Jacobite history. Weather is unpredictable; rain and cloud are normal. Ferries may shift timings depending on conditions.
Good to know
Bring waterproof jackets and sturdy walking boots. Many attractions charge separate entry fees (Dunvegan Castle, distillery, heritage sites). Meals are self-catered or sourced locally—limited restaurant options on the islands. Not suited to those with serious mobility constraints; terrain is hilly and paths can be muddy.
