THE HIGHLANDS
Yes, we know – it’s a cliché, but the Highlands really is the Scotland of your imagination. It’s an amazing concoction of culture, history, architecture and unparalleled scenery. Think big skies, mind-blowing landscapes, superb food and hospitable people – it really doesn’t get any better if you want to escape and unwind. Unpredictable. Untameable. Unbelievable. Top that!
LET THE DRAMATIC HIGHLANDS WEAVE ITS MAGIC
You can get lost – not literally – in the majestic mountains and mysterious lochs as you journey through this beautiful land. The views are simply jaw-dropping. Pass through Britain’s largest National Park, witness dolphins frolicking off the Moray Coast, marvel at the sensational seascape of the North Highlands, walk in the shadow of Britain’s highest peak, Ben Nevis, or explore the stunning islands and stretches of coastline. And if you haven’t heard of Loch Ness, Scotland’s most famous loch… oh boy, you’re in for a treat!
HOLD ON TIGHT AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH
The Highlands’ natural playground begs to be explored, and the region is a magnet for adrenaline-seekers. It’s no wonder – Fort William has been dubbed the ‘Outdoor Capital of the UK’! Host of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup, here you can enjoy world-class mountains or pick from sports across the Highlands such as fishing, golfing, sea kayaking, white-water rafting, gorge walking, Munro bagging, snow sports and much more – the choice is yours.
TOUCHING THE PAST
There’s a haunting air of mystery that cloaks the Highlands, and the region’s turbulent history has left behind some of the most beautiful and romantic castles in the world. From Dunvegan Castle on Skye and Brodie Castle in Moray, to the Castle of Mey in the North Highlands – they really are as magnificent as people say! But it’s not only about the castles, although they are pretty amazing. Learn about the infamous massacre at the Glencoe Visitor Centre, see Glenfinnan Monument; a tribute to the history of the Jacobite uprisings, or stop at the Highland Archive Centre to research your roots.
Whisky Tours & Tasting
Highland malt whisky is born in the largest geographical whisky region in Scotland – the Highlands. Nestled within this is Speyside where the largest production of whisky is produced – half of all Scottish distilleries can be found here. Our guide will meet you at the lodge for an introductory tasting session before your luxury transport takes you to the many birthplaces of the ‘water of life’.
Relaxing Trout & Salmon Fishing
A land of mountain wilderness with some of the best trout and salmon fishing in the world – a true test of strength and skill for any angler. Our ghillie will greet you at your lodge to introduce you to Scottish waters and the beautiful fish that lay beneath the surface. You will then be transported in luxury and comfort to your chosen fishing location for a day never to be forgotten.
Outlander Location Tour
