Scotland's Highlands and Islands

Skip to


Experience Scotland as few others have on what National Geographic Traveler magazine named a “Tour of a Lifetime.” Sail on waterways through the heart of the Highlands aboard Lord of the Glens, an intimate ship purpose-built for this journey, and navigate the coastal Hebrides islands, calling on villages seldom seen by outside travelers. Discover ancient landmarks and wild places while fully immersed in the lore, history, and warmth of this fabled region.

Highlights

  • Sail through the heart of Scotland via the Caledonian Canal, and explore remote and unspoiled islands of the Inner Hebrides

  • Stroll across the battlefield at Culloden—where Bonnie Prince Charlie was dramatically defeated in 1746—and discover Clava Cairns, a Bronze Age circular chamber tomb

  • Hike through stunning scenery and kayak on picturesque Loch Linnhe beside the towering grandeur of Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain

  • Visit Armadale Castle on the magnificent Isle of Skye, beautiful Eilean Donan Castle in Kyle of Lochalsh, and explore the medieval ruins and the burial ground of Iona Abbey—where Macbeth is buried

  • Transit Neptune’s Staircase, a series of eight interconnected locks on the Caledonian Canal that 3 drop, or rise, 64 feet
