LAST GROUP TOUR OF 2026 ENDING WITH A BANG!

Wow. Now this has been quite a special trip. 9 days with a team raring to crack on and experience what this country has to offer. I’m proud of the way they were able to smash the hikes. The steep inclines and rough Scotland terrain isn’t always easy but as a team we took our time and overcame all of it. Best of all, with a smile on our faces. The positive energy they brought to the table and the camaraderie has been inspiring. Superb to see!

Who would have thought that 9 days ago we started in Edinburgh for a walking tour and the Royal Military Tattoo. It feels like so long ago! But since then we have smashed:
- Hikes to Steall Falls, Quiraing circuit, Old Man of Storr, Ben Tianavaig, Ceapabhal
- Explored the Callanish Stones, Finlarig, Doune, Kilchurn Castles, Dun Telve, Dun Trodan, Gaerrannan,
- Tried Haggis, Neeps and Tatties, Millionaire shortbread, Harris & Glen Moray Wh**ky, Cullen Skink, Selkirk Bannock, Classic Fish and Chips, Tablet, Black Pudding, Scotch Egg and more
- Attended the Royal Military Tattoo, the Birnam Highland Games
- Fed Highland Coo, spotted dolphins, eagles, seals, buzzards and red deer

And there’s one day left? How about that team… experiences you will never forget with people that are unforgettable.

These tours are huge. They bring something special to the table. It’s not an ordinary Highlands and Islands tours. We are talking a real immersion in places. Through hiking and exploring lesser known sights as well as iconic locations. Helping to distill the culture of the people and this incredible country into one epic adventure. Thanks team. It’s been a pleasure!

Today I’m back in one of Scotland’s most precious parts of the east coast. This is the Elie Chain Walk in the East Neuk of Fife ⛓️‍💥

Saying it’s a walk is a wee bit of an understatement. Although parts of it are walking, the rest very much isn’t. It’s more like an assault course sculpted by nature. As the name suggests, there are chains to hoist yourself up the jagged rocks, as well as helping you traverse along the cliffs.

The middle section is mind-blowing. The geology is just fascinating. Over the years I’ve become quite fascinated by the geology of places like Fingal’s Cave and the Isle of Mull Fossil Tree, and this has to be right up there!

These basalt columns are remnants of volcanic activity that took place here around 300 million years ago, during the Carboniferous Period. Interestingly, that’s roughly the same period when the volcanic rocks of Arthur’s Seat were formed. In photos 1,2 & 4 you can see as the basalt cooled, it contracted and fractured, creating those iconic columnar formations.

WARNING: It’s really only accessible around low tide unless you fancy a very moist landing. 🌊😂

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Watching traditional weaving demonstrations and Gaelic singing in a blackhouse village

Hidden on the shores of Loch Awe lies one of Scotland’s most extraordinary gems…

What began as a small chapel built by Walter Douglas Campbell for his mother became a breathtaking masterpiece of Scottish architecture.

With its mix of Romanesque, Celtic, Norman and medieval influences, St Conan’s Kirk feels like something pulled straight from a fantasy world.

Built between the late 1800s and early 1900s, this unique church is one of the most fascinating places to visit in the Scottish Highlands.

If you’re exploring Scotland, don’t just chase the famous sights… sometimes the most magical places are the ones hiding in plain sight.

📍 St Conan’s Kirk, Loch Awe, Argyll, Scotland
