Skye & the Highlands
June 1 - 11, 2023 | Maximum Group Size: 15 Participants | Availability: Closed*
Edinburgh Castle
Few visitors travel over the sea to Skye without leaving at least a part of their heart behind in the Highlands. The breathtaking landscapes, the romance of the tales and legends, and the drama of noble and fiercely independent inhabitants all combine to leave a lasting impression. The Highlands are calling!
We’ll begin in the capital, Edinburgh, exploring its intriguing Old Town, an area of winding streets steeped in atmosphere and history. The backbone of the Old Town, the Royal Mile, leads from Edinburgh Castle down to the Palace of Holyrood House, and in addition to taking in the well-known sites we’ll also explore off the beaten path locations.
Loch Lomond
After a stay in Inverness, with time to visit the Great Glen, we’ll have two nights and a day to explore the Isle of Skye, soaking up tales of the Lords of the Sea Kingdom, and a full day’s excursion to the Holy Isle of Iona to examine the beginnings of Christianity in Scotland. From Iona we head through the Trossachs, along the banks of Loch Lomond, and spend a final night in Stirling, the gateway to the Highlands.
Along the way there will be unexpected stops and detours, and plenty of time for a wee dram in the local pub and to appreciate the best of Scotland’s backroads and scenery. Join Discover Europe this summer for an unforgettable journey through Scottish landscapes and history as we experience Skye & the Highlands.
