Details

Embark on an authentic journey through the rugged beauty and storied history of the Scottish Highlands with Anderson Scottish Travel Ltd. Starting from Glasgow, this guided experience takes you into the heart of one of Scotland’s most captivating regions, where towering mountains, deep lochs, and ancient sites create a tapestry of awe-inspiring sights. As you wind your way through winding roads, your senses are immersed in the diverse landscape—craggy peaks piercing through mist, lush green glens, and shimmering waters of Loch Ness beckoning you onward.

The trip centers around the legendary Loch Ness, where the search for the elusive Monster adds an element of mystery and fun. Visitors can also wander around Inverness, a lively city brimming with local culture, cafes, and riverside charm. A highlight lies in visiting the ancient stone circles and sites associated with the Jacobite rebellion, where centuries-old carvings and relics whisper tales of Scotland’s turbulent past. The journey balances natural wonder with historical richness, making it suitable for adventurers keen on learning as they go.

This experience is ideally suited for those comfortable with moderate physical activity—comfortable walking and light hiking—but no technical skills are necessary. The best times for this trip are during spring and summer when the weather is milder and visibility is optimal, although fall offers stunning foliage, and winter provides a quieter, snow-dusted landscape.

Participants should bring sturdy footwear, waterproof layers, and a camera to capture the breathtaking vistas. Hidden gems along the route include lesser-known waterfalls and secluded lochs that reward those willing to venture off the beaten path. Keep an eye out for local wildlife such as red deer and ospreys, and learn about the area's fascinating history from expert guides committed to sustainable tourism.
