Tour at any time of the year
Description:
In late autumn, winter and early spring, not every bird will fly to our harsh, but beautiful at any time of the year, the Scottish Highlands. And in vain! Because that's when you're here as VIPs. Only for you at this time, employees of reserves, castles, whiskey shops and restaurants work. Starting at the end of April, when ocean cruise ships arrive, they will no longer be up to individual tourists!
Now we can make a fascinating and informative tour: - along six lakes and snow-capped mountain ranges, - visit two castles and take photos of the picturesque ruins of another on the island of Skye, - walk to the fabulous waterfalls and perhaps watch the hunt of the largest colony of wild bottlenose dolphins in the UK.
In this very intensive, but by no means stressful tour, we start at the Gulf of the North Sea, and in the middle of the route we are already at the waters of the Atlantic Ocean!
By the way, do you know how to distinguish freshwater lakes from estuaries and reservoirs? After all, their names here begin with the same word Loch, which means lake. And why is one coast of Loch Ness called the north and the other the south? After all, according to the compass, this is not so!
In addition to the cognitive moments, this tour involuntarily comes into contact with whole layers of Scottish history, which was never calm, and this trend continues today.
I am sure that no one will be indifferent to the wise legend of mountain sisters-brides, who have been waiting for their brides-princes for several centuries, while managing to preserve beauty and eternal youth! And of course, no one will refuse to take a couple of photos in this fabulous place of their habitat, where far below stretches the lake surface of the next Loch.
In this tour there is an opportunity to visit all the top sights of the Highlands:
The legendary, never-freezing Loch Nes and the majestic ruins of Urquhart Castle on a cape in the deepest part of the lake.
- Film star castle Eileen Donan;
Enter the snow-white bridge on the island of Skye, where it is time to stop for lunch and taste the freshest seafood of the Atlantic!
In this “non-tourist” period, there is not only a sense of one’s own exceptionalism, but also an incomparable pleasure from unity with nature. Sometimes you are alone for many miles. You don't? Come and check for yourself:
