Ever wondered what a Celtic Escape journey looks like? Let us show you.
The Skye and the Highlands Escape is a seven-day private tour offering, in the words of the trip itself, a seamless blend of history, natural beauty, and comfort. From the ancestral halls of Blair Castle to the final Jacobite battlefield at Culloden, across the bridge over the sea to the other-worldly landscapes of Skye, and on to the dramatic glens of Glenfinnan and Glencoe, it takes in some of the most breathtaking corners of the country.
Along the way there are ancient Clava Cairns, a Loch Shiel cruise beneath the Glenfinnan Monument, and an evening with a local storyteller uncovering the legends of the Glen of the Weeping. It is Scotland’s epic landscapes and rich history woven together, and like all our journeys, it is a starting point, yours to shape around what matters most to you.
Which corner of Scotland would you most love to explore? Let us know in the comments.

Here is something to think about this Halloween. Nearly all of it began in Scotland.
Long before pumpkins and trick or treating, there was Samhain, the ancient Celtic festival that marked the end of the harvest and the start of winter. On this night the veil between the living and the dead was believed to grow thin, so people lit bonfires and carved frightening faces into neeps, or turnips, to ward off the spirits. They went guising, dressing up in disguise, and played games like dooking for apples to tell their fortunes.
When Scots and Irish families emigrated across the Atlantic, they took these customs with them, and over time they grew into the Halloween the world knows today. So the pumpkin on your doorstep and the costume at the door are really echoes of an ancient Scottish night.
Which of these did you grow up with? Tell us below

The first in a new series, Women of Scottish Folklore, and we begin with the oldest and most powerful of them all. The Cailleach.
Long before the clans and the castles, the Cailleach shaped Scotland itself, raising the mountains and glens by dropping great stones from her creel. Known as Beira, Queen of Winter, she herded the wild deer, summoned the storms and ruled the dark half of the year. Each Samhain she wakes to bring the frost, and when winter fades she turns to stone until the seasons call her back.
Which woman of Scottish folklore should we feature next? Tell us below.

Ever wondered what a Celtic Escape journey actually looks like? Let us show you.
A Jacobite Adventure is a nine-day private tour following the dramatic story of the Jacobite Risings, from the cobbled streets of Edinburgh to the windswept moor of Culloden. Along the way you will stand at Glenfinnan where the clans rallied to Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1745, hear of the lost Jacobite gold said to lie hidden at Loch Arkaig, visit the grave of the outlaw Rob Roy and walk the great halls of Stirling Castle.
It is history brought to life in the very places it happened, guided by people who know every twist of the tale. And like all our journeys, it is a starting point, yours to shape around the places, pace and stories that matter most to you.
Which part of Scotland’s story would you most like to follow? Tell us below.

Autumn might just be the most beautiful time to see Scotland, and these three are at their very best right now.
Wander through Perthshire’s Big Tree Country as the woods turn gold and copper. Watch wild salmon leap upstream on their autumn run, battling their way home to spawn. And keep your eyes on the pines of the Cairngorms for a flash of a red squirrel.
Three reasons to fall for a Scottish autumn. Come and experience it with us at celticescape.com.

The last in our Scotland’s Water Myths series. Meet Scotland’s own mermaid.
The ceasg is half woman and half young salmon. In Gaelic she is the maid of the wave. Like the salmon, she was at home in the sea as well as Scotland’s rivers and streams.
Some famous Scottish sailors were said to descend from her. She watched over them, guiding them through storms and to the best fishing grounds.
