Explore this beautiful part of the west of Scotland, with its mountains, lochs, forests and meandering coastline.
Some tour highlights
- The scenic village of Inveraray with its white washed cottages, located on the shores of Loch Fyne. Home to the stunning Inveraray Castle, ancestral home of the Clan Campbell. Don’t forget to sample the justly famous local seafood.
- The port of Oban, gateway to the isles. Climb up the hill to McCaig’s Tower for simply spectacular views to the islands of Kerrera, Lismore and Mull.
- The Mull of Kintyre. Golf the links course at Macrihanish, take a tour of one of the Campbeltown malt whisky distilleries and enjoy the views – on a clear day you can see the coast of Ireland from here.
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! 🏴🇫🇷🏴🇫🇷🏴🇫🇷
