Can we tour the highlights of Scotland and the islands in a couple of days?
It is a common misconception that Scotland is small and that it is possible to travel from one end to the other in a reletivley short period of time. However, due to the geographical nature of our country we have many mountains, lochs and narrow country roads which increase the time it takes to get from one place to another. We can certainly fit a lot into a days touring and we recommend giving as much time as you can to really experience what Scotland has to offer. We will happily work with you to provide the perfect Luxury Highland tour itinerary.
