5 day luxury tour from Skye to Edinburgh

Leave the misty peaks of Skye behind and journey south through some of Scotland's most celebrated landscapes. Over five unhurried days, you'll travel the length of the Great Glen, pause at the atmospheric shores of Loch Ness, and wind through the wild beauty of the Cairngorms before arriving in Edinburgh, Scotland's historic capital. This is a route that reveals the country's changing character from the raw, Celtic edge of the Hebrides to the elegant Georgian streets of the capital.

Along the way, expect moments that linger: the brooding ruins of Urquhart Castle reflected in dark water, the vast open moorlands of Rannoch, perhaps a red deer silhouetted on a hillside or an eagle riding the thermals above Glen Coe. You'll stop in Highland villages where whisky distilleries welcome visitors, pass through landscapes shaped by ancient geology and turbulent history, and watch the scenery shift from rugged wilderness to the softer, rolling hills of Perthshire and the Lowlands.

By the time Edinburgh's skyline appears you'll have experienced Scotland in all its variety. This isn't just a transfer between two destinations; it's a journey through the heart of the Highlands, designed to leave you with stories, photographs, and a deep appreciation for why this small country casts such a long shadow in the imagination.
