Highland Scotland & The Isles
The dramatic landscape of the Highlands will take your breath away. The ever-changing light is a gift for photographers, and inspirational to many, including Felix Mendelssohn who toured Scotland in the 1820's and 1830's and composed the Hebrides Overture and the Scottish Symphony. Had he the benefit of a Scottish Tourist Guide, it would be amazing the see the other works that could have followed.
From the classical to the traditional - why not immerse yourself in Highland and Island culture? Music, dancing, story-telling and whisky – all part of a traditional “ceilidh”, will leave you exhilerated and exhausted in equal measures. Can you keep up with our Guides, who can take you to the best Ceilidh houses in Scotland - like Skippinish in Oban and Fort William.
The Highlands and Islands of Scotland encompasses the largest land area in Scotland, from the most northerly tip of John O'Groats to the easterly golden dunes of Moray across the rugged Cairngorms, and the Great Glen to the Hebridean Islands of Skye, Lewis, Harris and Uist among many others.
A vist to the Highlands is an excellent opportunity to trace your ancestral heritage, which many of our guides can assist you with. MacDonalds and MacLeods can retrace their steps in Skye - at Armadale Castle in the south and Dunvegan Castle in the north.
With our Green Badge, we have guides based in many locations in the Highlands and Islands - click on each location to see the guides for that area.
