Holiday Overview

With its spectacular scenery, towering mountains, placid lochs and remarkable wildlife, the Scottish Highlands is one of Europe's most scenic and secluded stretches of countryside. Shrouded in myth and steeped in history, this is the home of Scotland's traditional clans and the setting for some of the country's most beloved stories and legends.

On your accessible Highlands holiday, we'll stay on the outskirts of Inverness, ensuring we're able to reach some of the region's most popular attractions and spectacular locations. Together, we'll tour the site of the bloody Battle of Culloden and learn about the lasting impact it had on the Highland clans, sample flavoursome single malt whiskeys, and cruise the lakes of Loch Ness in search of the fabled monster.

We'll also travel to the Cairngorms to pay the King a visit at his royal residence, Balmoral Castle, and soak up the grandeur of its mountainous surroundings. Whether it's your first trip to Scotland or simply the latest, we'll introduce you to the culture, landscapes and people that make the Highlands such a wonderful holiday destination.

Your first full day in Scotland begins with a trip to the site of the Battle of Culloden, where British forces put down a powerful Jacobite uprising in an event that had lasting consequences for Scottish highlanders. We’ll visit the Fraser clan stone and memorial cairn, watch an immersive 360 film that recreates aspects of the battle, and also make the most of the on-site cafe to refuel. In the evening, we’re off to experience a traditional Scottish evening. Consisting of an exceptional four-course meal and lots of singing and dancing, the evening is hosted in a glorious, converted barn not far from the hotel.
Day 3 Cruise on Loch Ness

Keep your eyes peeled for any mysterious creatures because today, we’re cruising the calm waters of the iconic Loch Ness. After boarding the fully accessible boat, we’ll make our way along the Caledonian Canal, passing the imposing Urquhart Castle as we go and taking in the dramatic landscapes that define this picturesque part of the world.
Day 4 The Black Isles & Whisky Tasting

It wouldn’t be a holiday in the Highlands without a visit to an authentic whisky distillery, so , we’ll head to the Glen Ord Distillery to enjoy an accessible tour. Located on the edge of the Black Isles, this is the only Inverness distillery still producing single malts and offers a fantastic opportunity to learn a little more about the distillation process and maybe even try a few samples! The Black Isle region is certainly worth seeing for its outstanding natural beauty and rugged, wind-whipped coastline. After lunch we will take a scenic drive through the Black Isles before making our way back to the hotel.
Day 5 Balmoral Castle & the Cairngorms
Scotland, Balmoral Castle

Today, we’ll travel to the Cairngorms - the largest national park in the UK. Dominated by deep valleys and soaring peaks, this is as wild and beautiful as the UK countryside gets. Firstly we visit the quaint Highland Village Grantown on Spey. The traditional village is set amongst beautiful scenery. We will have chance to walk around, and then have some refreshments in a Scottish pub. Then we will head to one of King Charles III royal residences, Balmoral Castle, which is situated within the park. We’ll be joined by a knowledgeable guide for our tour of the castle and its expansive grounds, before taking advantage of the excellent on-site cafe.

Day 6 Until Next Time
