A great tour to Inverness and the Isle of Skye. Loch Ness and Castle Urquhart were looking amazing, but the highlight was our walk up to the Quiraing (some of the movie Highlander was there). This is a place of rugged beauty, dramatic landscapes and surreal vistas and an excellent example of the untamed beauty of the Scottish Highlands. Its unique rock formations, shaped by millennia of geological processes, draw visitors from around the world. The area is characterized by towering cliffs, pinnacles, and plateaus, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and coastline. After we explored the Fairy Glen and spotted a Hen Harrier on route. The photographs show Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle, hotel, the oldest house in Inverness, Abertaff which dates back to the 1500’s (complete with marriage lintel), The Quiraing, Harrier and The Fairy Glen.

Highland Cattle On some of our tours you have the opportunity to meet up close, the famous breed of Scottish Cattle. They have been roaming in Scotland for over 1500 years. We take you to a working Highland Cow Farm where you will learn all about them and you can even give their hair a brush (which they love). After you can enjoy and savour a Highland Beef Lunch. A must for all meat eaters if you have never tasted this delicious (a very natural) product. For more information about our tours please www.timeexposure.travel

Sadly, today was the last day of our great tour. We first visited Old Aberdeen, where the Aberdeen University Campus is. It was founded in 1495 and offers a myriad of ancient buildings to visit. Next was St Andrews, the home of golf (after a visit to beautiful Aberdeen Beach). We did a tour of the ancient city cathedral, the castle which dates back to the 13th Century, the University Campus (founded in 1415), saw people swimming in the sea lido and the very famous Old Course. There was a lot of activity there, as preparations for the Walker Cup were in full swing but we had access to the Swilken Bridge for photographs. Lastly it was a drop off in Edinburgh.

Today we left Inverness and drove over beautiful The Cairngorm National Park to Royal Deeside. First stop was the gates of Balmoral Castle (King Charles is in residence) and Crathie Kirk where the Royals attend church. We visited the lovely village of Ballater before arriving at the Highland Beef Farm. Here Grace, the owner, gave us a wonderful tour. We met and learned about some of her prized cows and got to give them a brush, which they love. This was followed by a wonderful lunch and saying hello to the pygmy goats. Then we visited we the beautiful Crathes Castle and gardens. To finish off the day we visited the stunning Dunnottar Castle which sits on and impregnable headland of rock. This amazing and impressive ruin should be a must of every visitors list.

This morning we arrived at the very famous Eilean Donan Castle, which spectacularly sits on a small island and is attached to the mainland by a bridge. If you have seen the movie “Highlander” you will instantly recognise it. Next was Urquhart Castle, a stunning impressive ruin on the banks of Loch Ness. Then it was “Nessie” spotting time on our Loch Ness cruise. We only saw her a couple of times today. 😂 Before heading to our Inverness Hotel, we visited the fascinating Clava Cairns, a 4000 year old burial site. These were the inspiration for Craigh Na Dun in “Outlander”.

Today on route to our ferry to the Isle of Skye, we visited the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct, which all Harry Potter movie fans will be familiar with. On Skye we walked up to magical Fairy Pools set underneath the foreboding Cuillin Ridge. After lunch we visited Dunvegan Castle, defensively built atop a cliff. It has been continuously lived in longer than any other, 800 years. Before finding our hotel in Portree, we walked up to The Old Man of Storr, an amazing 800m tall rock pinnacle, and anyone who has seen the movie Prometheus will recognise it.

Today we first visited the truly stunning Glencoe. Then we took a walk up to the Steall Wire Bridge via the Glen Nevis valley. There we were presented with an amazing waterfall 100’s of feet tall. Well worth seeing but to get underneath it, you have to cross a three wire bridge, which is great fun. Later in Fort William we visited “Neptunes Ladder”, an engineering marvel at the end of the Caledonian Canal and offers great views of Ben Nevis.

Today we took a tour out to the spectacular and famous island of Staffa, which is also known for Fingals Cave. Staffa itself has stunning basalt rock formations and stepped columns (which make it easier to navigate). On route via the Treshnish Isles we saw many dolphins, seals and seabirds. On one of small islands (rock outcrop) we passed the remains of Cairnburgh castle which amazingly dates back to the 13th century. Very worth visiting. Later we took the ferry back to lovely Oban.

Today we took the ferry to the Isle of Mull. An island with much to offer. Great views of Dunollie Castle and Duart Castle on route. First stop was Duart Castle which dates back to the 13th C. It has been very well preserved and contains many fascinating exhibits. After lunch we braved the scary heights at the impressive Eos Fors Waterfall, one of Britain’s most impressive. It drops vertically over 100 feet into the sea, but also has some beautiful pools near the cliff top. After a visit to the Old Byre Heritage Centre, where you can learn much about ancient life and the wildlife on Mull, we arrived in the very picturesque village of Tobermory.
