We visit the wild and rugged terrain of north west Scotland. Walk among seascapes of unmatched beauty, wander across moors ablaze with purple heather, cross pristine sea lochs to travel to the mystical island of Skye. Dine on seafood fresh from the Atlantic ocean. Spend evenings listening to traditional music while sampling the “water of life” – malt whisky. Our walks take us through an irresistible mix of highlands, rugged seascapes, tranquil lochs and gentle glens. Charming hotels, superb seafood, lively Scottish music and local guides provide the perfect combination of walking and culture.
