About the trip

This eight-night escorted tour with G Adventures begins with an orientation walk through Edinburgh’s Royal Mile and a visit to Edinburgh Castle. From the capital, the journey moves north to Pitlochry, where a guided walk introduces the village’s local character. The itinerary includes stops at Stirling Castle, a monument to Scotland’s storied past, and a visit to the Scottish Crannog Centre, an open-air museum featuring reconstructed Iron Age dwellings.

A full day on the Isle of Skye highlights rugged landscapes, while stops at whisky distilleries offer a chance to sample local spirits. There’s also time dedicated to remembering history at Culloden Moor and enjoying the natural beauty of Loch Ness and Loch Lomond, including a scenic boat cruise. The tour balances driving with walking, staying in small, often family-run hotels, and accommodating those comfortable with stairs and varied facilities. G Adventures’ National Geographic Expedition Leader provides guidance throughout, blending broader knowledge with local expertise.
