Hebridean Isle

Experience the Highland beauty of the Isle of Skye on a 3-day excursion from Edinburgh. You'll spend two nights on the Isle of Skye, see legendary Loch Ness and ride one of the world's most famous steam trains, the Jacobite Steam Train, as seen in the Harry Potter films.

If you are visiting the Isle of Mull, are fit enough to walk a few miles over rough terrain and are interested to see/hear at first hand what it's like to be a hill farmer here in the Scottish Hebrides (and to learn about the local culture, traditions and heritage), our Hebridean Farm Hikes are for you! You'll encounter a host farmer passionate about the countryside, a herd of (slightly wild!) Highland ponies and a flock of (very friendly) Shetland sheep. Depending on the weather, the hiking experience in this wild landscape can range from challenging (i.e. wet and muddy…) to mysterious (i.e. misty…) to stunning (when the sun is shining!). The sights change with the seasons: in the spring and summer, there are wild flowers galore; in the autumn, the bracken turns golden and dies back, making it easier to walk; and in the winter, you'll understand the challenges of farming in this part of the world! We look forward to welcoming you to our unique wee corner of planet Earth soon…

Hugh, your guide, can collect you from your accommodation, the ferry terminal, airport or when you arrive off your cruise ship. Even if you bring your own transport over, spend a day with Hebridean Isle Tours to show you these beautiful isles before you explore yourself. Our tours visit all the well known sites throughout the Isles plus many more hidden treasures. At Hebridean Isle Tours we aim to make your visit to the Hebrides a memorable one. We welcome solo travelers and we will not cancel due to lack of numbers.

This is a truly Hebridean experience where you will sample what the west coast and islands have to offer whether it be gin or whisky. This will also help you to decide which souvenir you'll be taking home with you!
