In Glencoe, we can stand in the remains of a 300 million-year-old volcano and hear the story of a terrible massacre. You can recreate the iconic poster scene from Skyfall and get up close with the local stags.
On a morning or afternoon spent in Fort William, you will discover the engineering marvel of Neptune’s staircase, hear the story of the historical battle of Inverlochy and walk through a dramatic glacial gorge.
Ardnamurchan point is the UK’s most westerly point. The trip to the point takes us through some of the wildest, most scenic landscapes in the country. Visit a 13th-century castle, pass the Glenfinnan viaduct and enjoy fabulous vistas small isles of Eigg and Rhu. But mostly, Ardnamurchan is about wildlife.
The West coast is full of secret coves and hidden beaches that need a little in-depth local knowledge to discover. Smirisary is one of these and the walk to the beach, which passes through the now mainly deserted village of Smirisary is one where new discoveries await around every corner.
