The stunning and unique scenery of the Northern Highlands is truly unforgettable, an area of lush green valleys, mystical lochs, towering mountains and picturesque coastlines. Our setting for exploring this beautiful area is the popular tourist town of Inverness, the bustling capital of the Highland region. The River Ness flows majestically through the centre of this attractive town which is overlooked by its dominating 19th century castle.
