On this scenic Scottish adventure, which includes a two-night stay on Skye, we discover the North Coast 500 route (Scotland’s equivalent of Route 66) a jaw dropping journey skirting the top of the UK’s North West coastline, passing deserted beaches and ancient castles. Covering 430 miles of some of the most unspoilt and picturesque scenery in Europe, it has a diverse array of wildlife and a culture which has changed little in generations.
PLEASE NOTE: Price is per person and based on two people sharing a twin/double room. Single room supplements and upgrades are not included.
