- **Event Description**: Explore The Highlands – August 2026

Monday 24th- Thursday 27th

 

In August 2026 we are offering a small group break to discover Scotland. The Highlands are truly magical, filled with folklore and ancient religions, it is a doorway to another world. Towering mountains cloaked in mist, lochs as deep as legends, and ancient glens whispering tales older than time – the highlands of Scotland are wild and unspoilt. We will trace the footsteps of clans, saints, and spirits through the changing landscapes over our trip.

In Glen Affric, widely hailed as Scotland’s most beautiful glen, you’ll be immersed in an ancient Caledonian forest where pine trees stretch toward the heavens and stags roam free. It’s a place that feels untouched by time. We will explore the Black Isle, where rugged coastlines give way to tranquil villages, and dolphins dance just offshore and in Rosemarkie,  you’ll find peace by the waves and wander among Pictish stones that tell stories in silence. And who could forget Loch Ness; wrapped in mystery and myth the villages that surround it are full of character, ruins and waterfalls.

The Highlands are so much more than just scenery – they are soaked in folklore and alive with myth. Here, every mountain has a guardian, every loch holds a secret, and every trail leads to a legend. Come and see why poets, painters, and pilgrims have long called this the most magical place on Earth. For four days, let Scotland wrap you in its ancient spell.

 



DAY 1
After pick up from Inverness Airport, we will head to the Black Isle to explore The Fairy Glenn of Rosemarkie. This is a magical 2 mile gentle walk to stretch your legs after travelling. We will then head to the shores to catch the dolphins returning to the firth for the evening. 




DAY 2
The magnificent circuit of Loch Affric is a 11.5 mile walk. The walk keeps mostly well above the loch and passes through both fine pinewood and moorland scenery, with views of the mountains high above.

This is a 6 hour walk through remote terrain, with no escape routes, but is on good clear tracks and paths. Please fully read the terms and conditions before booking regarding this section of the trip.




DAY 3
We will spend the day exploring the waterfalls, villages and ruins that make up the famous Loch Ness, all whilst keeping an eye out for Nessie. Our day starts in the village of Dore, which is a spectacular view point of the Loch. From here we head to Falls of Foyer, a short walk to discover the falls and look for red squirrels. We then head onwards to the canal village of Fort Augustus and into Invermoriston. We will stop for lunch at Drumnadrochit, and finish at mighty ruins of  Urquhart Castle (entrance is included).

Glen Affric trail – This is a longer walk and a full day although manageable. A decent level of fitness is required for a few hundred metres of elevation gain over the day. This route does not have any escape points so you must be carrying everything you need for a full day and be fully hydrated and have enough food. There are only wild toilets on this section. I will be showing you the walk but not in the remit of my walk leading qualification. This section will be classed as a walk with friends due to the remoteness of the area.
