Embark on an unforgettable 8-day journey through Scotland’s rich history, vibrant culture, and awe-inspiring landscapes. Starting in Edinburgh, travel through the rolling hills and ancient pine forests of Perthshire, the dramatic Highlands, and the ruggedly beautiful west coast, with stops in two national parks. Feel the warmth of Scottish hospitality with a traditional ‘wee dram’ and marvel at the country’s natural wonders, including a visit to the fabled Loch Ness, perhaps you’ll catch a glimpse of the legendary Nessie! Wander through tranquil rural islands and relax in the charm of a historic country manor house. Learn about vital conservation efforts to restore Scotland’s native forests, step back in time at Blair Castle, a 700-year-old treasure, and the Highland Folk Museum, where Scotland’s ancestral stories are brought vividly to life. Fans of Outlander will recognize this setting, featured in several scenes of the series. Your journey concludes back in Edinburgh, where a unique walking tour reveals the city’s hidden gems and untold stories through the eyes of passionate local guides. This is more than a holiday, it’s a deep dive into the heart of Scotland, leaving you with unforgettable memories and a true connection to this extraordinary land.
Immerse yourself in the magic of the Isle of Skye and spend a transformative volunteer holiday on the Sleat Peninsula. This adventure is the perfect balance of sightseeing and volunteering while making a positive impact on Scotland’s unique landscapes and local communities.
We have partnered with the Sleat Community Trust to help transform the forest of Tormore through tree planting, path building, and repair. It’s not all hard toil; after volunteering on the Isle of Skye each morning, we will spend the afternoons exploring romantic castles, local whisky distilleries, and natural waterfalls. We even get the chance to learn some Scottish Gaelic and hear about all the myths, legends, and tales that form Scotland’s rich history.
Venture east for the day, away from the crowds of tourists, on an adventure along the Moray Firth and into ‘Malt Whisky Country’. Experience the wild beauty and charm of the coast: sea cliffs, wonderful beaches, picturesque fishing villages, and a famous rock formation. Discover the incredible diversity of the Moray Coast's birdlife, and with some luck, encounter puffins and even some sea life along the way. Toast our day of new experiences with our national drink in Scotland’s largest whisky producing region, Speyside. After all the fresh air, whisky and wildlife, you will be in love with this incredible region.
