A little help choosing
Which Glasgow adventure suits your trip?

Orkney or Lewis & Harris?
Orkney puts ancient settlements, stone circles and northern coastal scenery at the heart of your trip. Lewis & Harris combines Atlantic beaches, Callanish and blackhouse heritage. Both five-day routes include two island nights and two in Inverness.
A week for Skye & the Hebrides
The seven-day tour combines Skye and Lewis & Harris, with two nights in each island base and two in Inverness. It also includes a free day in Inverness before the final journey to Edinburgh.
