For our first newsletter of 2023 we thought we would start at the top with a feature on our new luxury walking tour – Scotland Sea to Skye.

 

Arrive by train or plane into Inverness and let us transfer you to charming Nairn on the east coast with its fishing port and extensive beach.  Your first day’s walk will take you through lovely countryside to Cawdor Castle which Shakespeare chose as the setting of Macbeth. The next three days take you along Loch Ness with a boat trip, a castle to explore and some lovely walking along The Great Glen Way with plenty of stunning views over the Loch and a choice of high or low level walks.

 

Then it’s time for something completely different as your driver guide will meet you in Fort Augustus for a trip to Eilean Donan Castle on the west coast and over the Skye Bridge for a fascinating tour of this lovely Island, immortalised in the Skye Boat song that tells the story of how Bonnie Prince Charlie disguised as a maid escaped with the aid of Flora Macdonald after the defeat of the Jacobite rising in 1745. 

 

Spend a day exploring the Isle of Skye on foot before a very special last day that takes you back to the mainland by ferry and on the famous Jacobite Steam train through stunning Highland country and across the Glenfinnan viaduct to Fort William.

 

We could wax lyrical for days about Scotland – but have restricted ourselves to some little gems that you might find interesting before you visit!
