During the summer, from April to October, we drive past Stirling Castle, perching majestically atop its rocky throne. We enjoy a wee break in the charming Highland village of Callander before diving headfirst into the untamed Rannoch Moor—a peat-covered plateau hailed as the last remaining wilderness in Britain. Next on our list is one of the most famous glens of the Scottish Highlands: Glen Coe, with its rugged peaks that stand guard over the glen and its winding streams.
Our day continues with a scenic ferry trip* to the renowned Isle of Skye, where you’ll hear about ancient tales of faerie folk. Your home for the next two of nights is the vibrant town of Portree, where you can take your time to wander its pretty harbour or have a toast with your fellow travellers at a local bar. *During April and October, the ferry ride take place on day 3.
During winter, from November to March, we leave Edinburgh and first head west to see the stunning Kelpies, the world's largest horse sculptures. Then, we journey north through the picturesque Trossachs and the vast expanse of Rannoch Moor. Take in the awe-inspiring Glen Coe before a lunch stop in Fort William. Our adventure continues through the mountains to the enchanting Isle of Skye, passing the iconic Eilean Donan Castle. Rest for the night at your hostel accommodation in Portree, or get to know your fellow travellers over a hot drink at a traditional local pub. (Overnight: Portree)
