About this trip

Four days out of Edinburgh, through the Highlands and over to Skye, with a guide who adapts the walking routes and activities on the island to the weather and the group.

You get the big set pieces along the way — the Glenfinnan Viaduct, Glencoe, the Kelpies — without this being a sit-on-the-bus tour, since Skye itself is left open enough for proper time outdoors.

Easy going and guided throughout, so it suits families and anyone who wants the Highlands and Skye covered without organising the logistics themselves.

What you'll do

  • See the Glenfinnan Viaduct
  • Visit Glencoe
  • Admire The Kelpies sculpture
  • Hike and explore the Isle of Skye with your guide's local picks
  • Stop at Eilean Donan Castle
  • Pass Ben Nevis and Dunkeld on the way back to Edinburgh
Good to know
  • Hiking routes on Skye are chosen by the guide on the day, so plans depend on conditions
  • Rated easy, so no serious fitness or hiking experience needed
  • Suits families and groups travelling together
