Let your hair down and enjoy a long weekend travelling through the highlands, and exploring Scotland’s mysterious Isle of Skye. Your guide will show the excitement of the east and the best of the west!
We’ll start the day with brisk forest walk before heading into the highlands where you’ll hear tales of clan rebellion and get your first glimpse of highland life. We’ll round the day off with a whisky tasting before heading to our hostel in the highland capital of Inverness.
