Wonders of Scotland

Explore the iconic Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Skye on a small guided group tour organised by Nordic Visitor. Join likeminded travellers and a local guide who will regale you with tales of history and folklore.

This small group tour of Scotland will take you from Edinburgh all the way through the Highlands and to the Isle of Skye. You will also be treated to true Scottish hospitality, staying in unique hotels around the country and enjoying gourmet local cuisine.

Every day includes around 8 hours of travel and exploration as a group.

DAY 1: ARRIVAL IN EDINBURGH

Upon your arrival in Edinburgh, make your way to your hotel in the city centre. For those arriving early in the day, we recommend spending the afternoon walking through the city and exploring the Old Town and New Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are also plenty of museums and landmarks to visit within the city centre, including St Giles Cathedral and the majestic Edinburgh Castle.

Spend the night in Edinburgh.

DAY 2: INTO THE HIGHLANDS

Today, your guide will pick you up to start your adventure around Scotland. On the way north to Inverness, you'll stop for a forest walk at the picturesque Hermitage, followed by a visit of the nearby village of Dunkeld. Later, as you make your way through the Cairngorms National Park, the group will stop for a visit of the Highland Folk Museum.

Arriving near Inverness, you'll have time to visit the Battlefield of Culloden Moor, where the last battle on British soil occurred in 1746, followed by the mysterious Clava Cairns, a series of tombs and standing stones dating back roughly 4,000 years.

Tonight, you'll enjoy dinner at the hotel with the group.

Your guide will first drive along the mysterious Loch Ness, where you'll have to hop on a boat tour to take photos and see if we can catch a glimpse of Nessie. Next up is the iconic Eilean Donan Castle, a sight you will surely recognise from many film appearances.

This afternoon, the group will finally arrive on Skye where dinner will be served at your accommodation.

You'll also enjoy some time in Glenfinnan. You can visit the Glenfinnan Monument, overlooking the beautiful Loch Shiel, and admire the Glenfinnan Viaduct.

Later, you'll get to admire the magnificent scenery of Glen Coe, Scotland’s most famous valley, on a guided walk. Tonight, you'll enjoy one last dinner together at the hotel.
