Day 1
Fly to Edinburgh to meet our Tour Manager. Once on board the coach we head north west from Edinburgh to the Isle of Skye. It's a long but beautiful journey, giving you a taste of the scenic wonders to come. After check in, you'll have time to relax before dinner this evening.
Day 2
After breakfast, we'll visit Portree, passing the famous peaks of the Cullin Mountains. Admire the dramatic scenery and delightful white and colour-washed buildings around the harbour, browse the shops, and find out about the local environment at the town's exhibition. We'll continue to Dunvegan Castle where you can discover its fascinating history through the rooms' many treasures, and wander the beautiful formal gardens, hidden amid the surrounding moorland and mountains.
Day 3
Today we make the ferry crossing from Uig to Tarbet on the Isle of Harris, before continuing by coach to Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis, where we'll check into the hotel. This afternoon we'll explore the rugged moorland and beaches of Lewis. Visit the reconstructed Black House at Arnol, inhabited until 1965 (entrance payable locally), before we continue down the western side of the island, to the well-preserved Carloway Broch - a circular, dry-stone, 2,000-year-old fortified tower. Finally, we'll visit the Standing Stones of Callanish - the most dramatic of the Western Isles' monuments.
Day 4
