Scotland might be a small country but boy, do we pack a lot in! For its size, Scotland is the most geologically varied country in the world -this means that in terms of scenery we have everything from rolling hills and lush valleys, to jagged peaked mountains and dramatic sea lochs, powder soft sandy beaches and over 800 islands… Scotland is just waiting to be discovered! We also have a vibrant and colourful heritage, here you can enjoy the view from the ramparts of a medieval castle, enjoy a wee dram at your favourite distillery or enjoy the sights and sounds of the pipes and drums at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo…the options are endless and here at Scottish Highland Trails we would be thrilled to help you discover the best of Scotland on a tailor made tour.
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! 🏴🇫🇷🏴🇫🇷🏴🇫🇷
