"Without doubt the best tour we've ever been on. We were looking for legends, history, romance and intrigue and this trip turned out to be everything we wished it would be - awesome." Harold & Lucille Olesen, Fort Collins, CO  

The Scot’s are a proud and independent people (the only churchman to sign the American Declaration of Independence was a minister of the Church of Scotland). They have traveled far & wide to leave their mark and yet their hearts always remain in the craggy mountains and wild moors of this northern land.  Today, Scotland’s population is not quite 5 Million and yet it is estimated that 27 Million people world wide can trace their line back to this great country.

The Highlands are a curious blend of the stark and savage that somehow combines with the gentle tranquility of sheltered glens that live to the sound of meandering streams and the rustle of the Atlantic winds of the bows of ancient forests.  Truly, this is a northern land where the tree line only rises to 1,500 feet elevation.  In mid summer it is quite possible to read your newspaper in the garden at almost midnight.  Today, the total Highland population is only 250,000 and so the pace of life is gentle.  Roads are almost always single track where motorists take time to wave and grid lock means there are sheep on the road ahead.

Like so many Scots families, the old generation remains in the Highlands, while the new has settled in America. We invite you to join us, in this our Highland home on a journey through history, a journey through the wild and sweeping landscapes of an almost forgotten corner of Europe where a warm welcome & spirited time are assured.

Our adventure starts in Edinburgh, ancient capital of Scotland and will take us to the rugged  western Highlands & Islands and end at Culloden, site of the last pitched battle on British soil in 1746. Your journey will be a tour de force at the end of which you will have come to understand more than simply the charm of this ancient land and her people but will come to have appreciate it’s stunning beauty, intriguing history and  incredible romance.
