Scotland Explorer - Skye, Glens & Great Cities

Lantern Light & Georgian Evenings

As dusk settles, Edinburgh's stone facades are adorned by a warm, nostalgic glow. Begin with dinner in the elegant New Town, where Georgian townhouses now house fine restaurants and cozy wine bars. Afterwards, stroll through Princes Street Gardens or along George Street, taking in the softly lit skyline and the outline of the Castle above. It's an effortless yet breathtaking introduction to Scotland's capital.

Eat Walk Food and Drink Small Group Tour

Discover Edinburgh through its flavours on a guided walking tour that brings the city’s history, culture and culinary scene together in the most delicious way. Wander through atmospheric streets and hidden corners as you sample traditional Scottish dishes and modern creations, all while hearing the stories that shaped the capital’s food and drink heritage. From cosy pubs and historic interiors to unexpected local favourites, this experience offers a true taste of Edinburgh, led by a passionate local guide and designed for travellers who want to connect with the city beyond the usual sights.

A Tale of Two Towns

As a dual UNESCO World Heritage Site, Edinburgh is a masterclass in architectural harmony. The city's unique legacy lies in the dramatic contrast between its two halves: the ancient, winding spine of the Royal Mile in the medieval Old Town and the refined, neoclassical symmetry of the Georgian New Town. Walking between them is a rare experience, where 18th-century order meets the rugged grandeur of the Royal Mile, creating one of the world's most iconic examples of inventive urban planning.

Drop Anchor in Portree's Harbor

For your first night on the Isle of Skye, take some time to explore Portree, the island's main town. The harbor is famously lined with picturesque pastel-colored houses, creating a relaxed seaside atmosphere that is perfect for settling in.

Enjoy a casual evening walk past the local shops and nice cafés that sit near the water. As the evening draws in, make sure to head up to Bosville Terrace to take in the views over the port. It is an excellent vantage point for sunset photos and a memorable way to start your time on the island.

Continue your day with a choice between visiting historic Dunvegan Castle or discovering the magical Fairy Pools. Optionally, stop at the Talisker Whisky Distillery to enjoy a tasting or join a guided tour.

Coastal Walk to Scorrybreac

Add some light activity to your day with the Scorrybreac coastal walk. The trail begins conveniently near the Portree town center and follows a pleasant woodland path right along the coast. The route is an easy 30 to 45-minute walk, though you can choose to do just a short section of the trail if you are short on time. Along the way, you will enjoy excellent views of the rugged local cliffs and out across the water to the Sound of Raasay.

Skye on a Plate

For an exceptional dining experience, the tasting menu at Scorrybreac in Portree is a standout choice. Set just above the harbor with lovely views over the water, the restaurant focuses entirely on Skye's natural larder, crafting seasonal dishes from freshly foraged ingredients, local meats, and freshly caught seafood. Because it is one of the most sought-after fine dining spots on the island and seating is very limited, let us know so we can book your table well in advance to enjoy these incredible local flavors.

Welcome to Glasgow

For your first night in Glasgow, take an early evening stroll along the River Clyde to see the city's modern waterfront architecture illuminated against the night sky.

From there, continue your riverside walk to take in the striking, glowing facades of the SEC Armadillo and the OVO Hydro arenas.

After enjoying the sights, head back to your starting point to end the evening with a drink at Champagne Central. Located right inside Glasgow Central Station, this elegant bar overlooks the station's bustling main concourse, offering a unique and relaxed setting to toast to your arrival in the city.

Feast in Finniston and the West End
