Scottish Highlands and Islands Tours

Highlands and Islands

Your visit to the Highlands can include some of the following:

  • Take in the desolate and haunting beauty of Glencoe, site of the famous massacre in 1692.
  • Fort William, nestling beneath Britain’s highest mountain, the 4409 ft high Ben Nevis.
  • The Great Glen, running from Fort William in the west of Scotland to Inverness in the east, passing en route Loch Ness, where you can try a bit of monster spotting. See also Urquhart Castle, an awe-inspiring ruin set on the banks of Loch Ness and legendary home of the monster.
  • The historic City of Inverness, frequently burned by marauding clansmen in the past, dramatically so after the Jacobite rebellion of 1745, but now a vibrant, colourful city and capital of the Highlands.
