What will my 5-day tour include?

You will explore Scotland’s most westerly peninsula, Ardnamurchan, and the surrounding area, where Steve spent almost 20 years living and working. Take in Glenfinnan, Arisaig, Acharacle, and Kilchoan. Catch the ferry across to Mull and back over to Lochaline to discover the wilderness of Morvern. Places that feel like a world away, a century ago, a past life; places where tradition holds sway and the old ways are still the best. Places you can experience, not just see; places you can explore, not just visit. This is a trip for those who want to get off the beaten track, who like to be more active, and who are open to experiencing Scotland in all weathers.

Trip includes Glencoe, Oban and Loch Lomond, if you’re starting from Glasgow. If you’re starting from Edinburgh, you’ll see, Glencoe, Loch Laggan and Pitlochry.
