Highlights

Immerse yourself in the unique and captivating Scottish culture by experiencing the famous Highland Games. Throw on your kilt and prepare for a tour that will take you through the picturesque villages and hillsides of the Highlands. Witness Olympic-level feats of strength, agility, and high-spirited festivity as tartan-clad laddies and lassies compete and dance to the epic chorus of bagpipe music. A friendly local Scot will guide you through the spellbinding highland scenery, sharing myths, legends, and insider tips on how to participate in traditional activities like hammer throwing. From wild hillsides to charming villages, your adventure will lead you into the heart of the Highland Games. Experience the traditional clan gathering, where you'll be welcomed with the warmest of Scottish greetings. As bagpipe music fills the air, witness traditional dancing, running races, hammer throwing, caber tossing, and savor the occasional dram of Scotch whisky.
