Hiking and History in the Hebrides
On this private tour of Scotland you'll hike on the Hebridean Islands exploring castles, clearance villages and ancient clan strongholds. All tours are bespoke to suit your interests.
The Hebridean Islands of Skye and Mull are awash with fascinating history, especially in the abandoned villages where tenants either chose to leave or were evicted during the Highland Clearances of the 18th and 19th centuries, one of the most poignant periods in Scotland’s story.
In the 12th to 15th centuries the Hebridean Islands and West Coast were ruled by the Lords of the Isles, a reign that began with Somerled, a powerful Norse-Celtic warrior lord. To understand this period in the history of the islands it is helpful to understand that the method of travel was by boat and the number of Birlinns (traditional galley ships) a lord had was a sign of their power and influence. The sea and many lochs were the highways connecting the scattered coastal communities. Battles during this period were fought at sea rather than on land.
On your private tour of Scotland you'll explore clearance villages, visit ancient clan strongholds, take to the Hebridean waters on a private boat trip where you'll see islands, remote communities, lighthouses and marine and coastal wildlife along the way. You'll have the opportunity to hike some beautiful coastal routes throughout this Hebridean adventure.
