Our destinations
The Highlands and the North East
The North East of Scotland offers a great variety in landscape and cultural interest. The Cairngorm, Monadhliath and Grampian Mountains, Lochs Tummel, Rannoch, Earn and Tay are its most spectacular landmarks. The region’s straths and glens are watered by some of the country’s finest salmon fishing rivers, including the Dee, the Don, the Tay and the Spey. The unique water quality of these rivers and burns, provide the basis of some of Scotland’s most well known brands of whisky. The distilleries of the Spey Valley form the Malt Whisky Trail and Speyside Malts are one of the great classifications of Scotch Whisky. This region also holds the Castle Trail and many superb examples of unique Scottish architecture such as Cawdor, Craigievar, and Braemar Castles. The North East is accessed by Aberdeen and Inverness Airports.
The Highlands and the North West
The North West highlands cover Scotland’s wildest and most scenically spectacular area of soaring mountains, moors, inland lochs and dramatic coastline of golden beaches. Being the country’s most sparsely populated region man has made little impact here, although history has made its mark with many highland forts and castles such as Eilean Donan and Urquhart Castles attesting to the rule of the clans they belonged to. It is divided from the North East by the Great Glen, the Caledonian Canal and Loch Ness with the highland city of Inverness acting as a gateway to the region. The North West is accessed by Inverness and Glasgow Airports.
For those wanting to escape, Scotland’s islands are the answer. The islands lie in the Atlantic Ocean along the west coast and above the north coast of Scotland, and fall into 5 groups the Inner Hebrides (Skye, Iona, Mull), the Outer Hebrides (Uist, Barra, Harris), Arran and Bute, St Kilda, Shetland and Orkney. Skye is linked by a bridge to the mainland. The other islands are connected by ferry or air services. The remoteness of the islands has given them a rich and often unique wildlife and fauna, which make them a superb destination for natural history. Migrating and nesting birds, Shetland ponies, seals, whales and dolphins provide the main attractions. Many of the islands have famous prehistoric sites such as the standing stones of Callanish, equalled only by Stonehenge in Britain. The Islands are accessed by Glasgow and Inverness Airports.
Edinburgh with its galleries, museums, theatres and huge month long summer festival including the famous Edinburgh Military Tattoo provides a wealth of cultural interest to any Scottish visit. Holyrood Palace, home of Mary Queen of Scots, Edinburgh Castle and its Dungeons are only a couple of the historical attractions. It is a fascinating city to walk round with its ancient hill fort, old town of multi-storey tenements, courts and closes contrasting to the elegant 18th Century Architecture of the Royal Mile, Princes and Queens Street, which gained the city the tag of Athens of the North.
