Scottish Islands Grand Tour

Start & end in Edinburgh 14 days Up to 16

About this trip

Fourteen days working through Scotland's islands by coach, from Iona and Mull to Skye, Orkney and the Outer Hebrides. This is a proper island-hopping itinerary — ferries, castles, and long views rather than one fixed base.

Expect a mix of history and landscape: standing stones, ancient castles, and a stop at Loch Ness on the way through. It's fully guided, so someone else handles the logistics of getting between islands while you take in the scenery.

What you'll do

  • Explore the UNESCO World Heritage sites at Brodgar and Stenness in Orkney
  • Island hop across Iona, Mull, Skye and the Outer Hebrides
  • Visit ancient castles along the route
  • Stop at Loch Ness
  • Travel by coach and ferry between destinations
Good to know
  • Coach-based tour with regular ferry crossings between islands
  • Sightseeing-paced — good for those who want history and scenery covered without organising it themselves
