Misty Mountains, Fabled Lochs & Dramatic Coastlines
Listen to the landscape and let your imagination run free on our Scotland Walking & Hiking Tour. Ruined castles, remote villages, enchanting lochs and coastlines whisper captivating tales of their mysterious past. Magical hikes through ancient glens and bens, heathered moors and rocky mountain peaks feed your mind's eye. At night, legends are chronicled in luxurious castle retreats and cozy lodges by crackling fires, perhaps over a wee dram of whisky.

- Relax at quintessentially Scottish whisky bars, taste the area's best scotches and savor homemade scones during afternoon tea
