There’s a natural playground which begs to be explored, while the region’s turbulent history has left behind some of the most beautiful and romantic castles in the world.

It has been my great pleasure travelling with all of you to the Highlands of Scotland.
Sharing meals, a drink, a word or two or simply sharing a moment as we gazed out over the extraordinary landscape of Scotland are times I will always remember and cherish.
When I reflect on all of the conversations we had getting to know each other or renewing our acquaintance, I know that it is not where we go and what we see or do but it is the people who make the trip. LH
First of all, the people on the tour, including our hosts John and Theresa Bishop were very friendly and welcoming. Many on the tour were well seasoned travellers. We enjoyed conversing and getting to know everyone.
The scenery of Scotland, especially the highlands and northern Islands such as the Orkney Islands were beautiful and we wish we had more time to spend there.
We have lovely memories of meeting our ‘coach’ folks and sharing the beautiful views of Scotland with you.
Until we meet on the ‘high road’ again. W & T
I’m very happy to have gone on this adventure “Country Roads Scotland: Highlands and Islands” with guest host John Bishop. It really was a pleasure. And I can’t thank you enough for keeping all of our ducks in a row as various arrangements—from flights to insurance—were put in place. You truly made all the difference in making travel easy in these strange times.
Really enjoyed our ‘ride’ through Scotland. (As a driver at home for myself and some non-driving friends, it was wonderful to be able to simply stare out the window at landscape—no roadside attractions, no giant billboards.)
Melissa did a great job, dealing with all the unexpected changes whether from QEII closures or serious traffic accident shutting out planned route. She was always good-natured, fun but low-key, provided just the right amount of information at the right time. It must have been so stressful, but she never showed that. Enjoyed the one time music was included as we drove onto Skye. A lovely touch!
Local guides, when used, were excellent too.
We had a congenial group of interesting people, all very good about mixing up where we sat at meals, etc.
Scottish people everywhere were always helpful and friendly—a real pleasure to travel in Scotland! K M
