The Highlands are located in the far north of Scotland. Sparsely populated, the region is well known for its dramatic landscape of mountains and lochs is perfect for watching wildlife and outdoor activities. There are miles of beautiful scenery to explore on your tailor made tour as well as castles, battlefield sites and a variety of other attractions waiting to be discovered.
Some tour highlights:
- Loch Ness for stunning scenery, boat trips on the loch, the spectacular ruins of Urquhart Castle, & Nessie spotting! Keep your cameras ready – if you spot the elusive monster, you’ll never have to pay for a vacation again!
- Eilean Donan Castle and the unspoilt beauty of the north west
- Drive the beautiful Road to the Isles…or travel by steam train instead over the 21 arch Glenfinnan Viaduct to the port of Mallaig.
- Head to the Cairngorms for a day in the mountains – walking, mountain biking, clay pigeon shooting, mini Highland Games – you can do it all here! Finish the day with tour and a dram at a local malt whisky distillery.
Doing some preparation for a specialist art tour next month with a visit to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh. It houses an amazing collection of art from c1900 onwards and includes one of the best collections of Surrealist art anywhere in the world! 🎨🖼️🏴

I have had great fun over the past few days working with French groups in town for the rugby with plenty of laughs along the way 😀 Apparently there are * 15,000 * French rugby fans in Edinburgh this weekend and the Royal Mile is a sea of red, white and blue!
There is a long history of friendship between Scotland and France. At the end of the thirteenth century the two countries shared a mutual enemy - the English! So they signed an agreement, the terms of which meant that should England invade either country, the other would go to their aid. This ‘Auld Alliance’ is considered the oldest military alliance in the world.
Although the alliance was officially ended in the 16th century, its spirit lives on! And this afternoon the two teams will compete at Murrayfield for the Auld Alliance Cup 🏉🏉🏉
Bonne chance aux deux équipes, que la meilleure gagne! 🏴🇫🇷🏴🇫🇷🏴🇫🇷
