About the trip

This six-night tour with G Adventures offers a measured pace through Scotland's Highlands and cultural highlights. Starting with a welcome by your CEO and a cruise on Loch Ness paired with a visit to Urquhart Castle, it sets the scene with history that’s tangible rather than romanced.

Proceed to Inverness for a somber walk over Culloden Moor, site of the last Jacobite battle, before heading to the Cairngorms for a forest walk and the chance to glimpse Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest peak. The Glenfinnan Viaduct, famous for its role in the Harry Potter films, offers a sturdy vantage point, while a tour of a whisky distillery brings local craft and strong flavours to the fore.

The journey mixes the legend-steeped with the natural, from Glencoe’s stark hills to the Victorian markets of Inverness, concluding after several days with a comfortable viewpoint into Scottish life and landscapes. The group size is capped to keep things intimate, ensuring time to take in details like the variegated greens of the Cairngorms or the scent of peat at the distillery.
