Scottish Highlands vacations

The Cairngorms National Park is the most sought after spot for outdoor and wildlife lovers, with skiing and winter walking at great heights in winter and everything from canoeing to climbing, rafting to rambling in summer. Some of our most popular Scottish Highlands vacations are those taken by train, through dramatic moorlands and alongside inviting lochs. Sleeping in castles or cabins, taking time out with a wildlife guide to help spot myriad marvels will always be worth it.
