Tour North Scotland

Northeast of Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, Fort George dominates the entrance to the Moray Firth. The Spey Valley runs to the foot of the Cairngorms, a favorite destination for mountain sports enthusiasts. From Fort William, at the foot of Ben Nevis, the 'road to the isles' runs west to Mallaig, while the geographical fault of Glen More ('Great Glen') runs northeast to the world-famous Loch Ness. Follow the northwest coast, whose impressive relief attracts walkers, climbers, and photographers. Visit the exotic gardens of Inverewe. Shiver on the high cliffs and desolate moors of the Far North coastline. Travel along the east coast with its attractive coastal resorts and prehistoric sites. Visit the Isle of Skye, the Outer Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland.
