This is one of the finest tours known to man (or woman!). Six days of pure adventure touring the Highlands, Skye and the remoter islands of Harris and Lewis; hiking, chilling, fishing and much much more!

Stays in unique accommodation including a blackhouse (traditional thatched cottage) set in its own bay and the last night spent in the village of Lewiston, where Loch Ness and pubs are within 5 mins walk and has an outdoor BBQ - perfect for last night celebrations! The tour includes a boat trip with seals and seafood.

Day: 1 | Location: Edinburgh - Glencoe

Leaving Edinburgh we enjoy a superb day meandering our way into the Highlands. Hear all about William Wallace, Robert the Bruce and Rob Roy MacGregor with walks for fantastic views. After a picnic lunch, it's into magnificent Glencoe (the massacre of Clan MacDonald) where they'll be plenty of time to explore the dramatic beauty of arguably Scotland's most famous glen. We continue through the Great Glen with views of Ben Nevis towards Eilean Donan Castle (where Highlander was filmed) for a short stop before arriving at the picturesque village of Plockton for our first night. It's the perfect introduction to our superb country!

Day: 2 | Location: Glencoe - Isle of Skye

This morning we begin with a morning seafood & seal cruise with local fisherman Neil. The rest of today will be spent exploring the Isle of Skye, with lots of walks and time to take in the magic. You'll see the Cuillin Mountains, the Old Man of Storr (an incredible Jurassic pillar) and hear some of the tales and legends surrounding the MacDonalds and MacLeods, the two main Clans of the island. We'll visit the fascinating Kilt Rock, and take in absolutely awe-inspiring panoramas in the Quirang. Tonight we'll stay on the magical Isle of Skye.

Day: 3 | Location: Isle of Skye - Isle of Lewis

The morning we will head for Uig to catch the ferry over the sea to the Isle of Harris where we will spend the afternoon checking out Rodel Church, home to the tomb of Alisdair Crotach MacLeod and going for great coastal walks along some of the best beaches (yes, we have beaches!) in the world! Then we make our way up into Lewis and over to the west coast where an amazing original Blackhouse(renovated for comfort!) is our home for the next 2 nights.

Day: 4 | Location: Isle of Lewis

A great day on Lewis with time spent at a recently discovered Iron Age village at Bosta, the amazing 4,000 year old Callanish Standing Stones (second only to Stonehenge), exploring the ancient Broch (fortified dwelling house) of Dun Carloway and witnessing the traditional making of Harris tweed! Then if you have enough energy left late afternoon (of course you will!) there is a superb coastal walk to Dalmore bay, next to the Blackhouse.

Day: 5 | Location: Isle of Lewis - Loch Ness

This morning you will have time to spend in Stornoway, the capital of Lewis, and it's harbour before taking the ferry back to the mainland at Ullapool. Then, with a stop at Corrieschalloch Gorge to stretch the legs, it is off to Lewiston by the banks of Loch Ness the last night.

Day: 6 | Location: Loch Ness - Edinburgh

A full day, with time to explore Loch Ness, before heading to tragic Culloden Battlefield. Then its southwards through the Cairngorm Mountains for a walk in Perthshire at the Hermitage forest before making your way back to Edinburgh, tired and happy Scotland fans!

All of our guides are born and bred Scots with unrivalled knowledge and passion for their homeland. They are trained to the highest standards and are all fantastic storytellers - nothing less will bring to life the vibrant history, enchanting legends and deep rooted culture of our proud nation.

All of the Wild in Scotland team are or have been driver guides for the company. We derive from different backgrounds but all have certain things in common; an enthusiasm and passion for Scotland, a desire to show it off, an ability to work together as a team, a liking for meeting folk from all over the world and for giving them a great time. The team is young (mid 20's - 30's) and energetic.

We are the only backpacker company in Scotland that operates smaller buses (16 seats max) which we believe is an ideal number to travel in (without feeling as though you are part of a gaggle of tourists!).
We are the only backpacker company in Scotland to operate the Kitty system. Covering accommodation, breakfasts, evening meals and ferry crossings (where applicable), it means that we keep the cost down for you as a traveller and also allows you to sit back and relax knowing that everything has been taken care of for you.
