Highlands and Islands, Scotland – Vacation Packages

This is one of the last wildernesses in Europe – through the soaring beauty of Glencoe to the idyllic charm of the isles, and from the crashing waves of the northern coastline to the silence of the windswept moors. The Scottish Highlands have so much to offer…spectacular mountains, tumbling rivers and mirror-like lochs are bounded by crystal-clear seas scattered with magical islands. A startling variety of wildlife makes its home in the glens and sea-lochs where an unbroken thread of human history reaches back into the mists of time.

While you’re there, see if you can cox Nessie out of murky black of Loch Ness and then imagine the days of old as you wander through Inverness Castle. Take on the Highland Games, a focal point for Gaelic culture. Check out the museum of island life to see how people used to live. This area is home to several distinct cultures – emerse yourself in the local life of the Highlands and Islands to learn about them all.
