Walking in the Scottish Highlands
Scotland is an absolute dream to explore on foot and this itinerary immerses you in its impressive Highland landscapes, intriguing history and culture. Visit the treasure-filled rooms of Blair Castle and the walled garden of Castle Menzies. See Soldier's Leap, a famous spot from the 1689 Battle of Killicrankie and the 18th century Ossian's Folly at The Hermitage. Why not taste (and purchase!) some of the award-winning chocolate at the Highland Chocolatier in Grandtully and sample the famous whisky at Dewar's distillery? The towns and villages of Blair Atholl, Pitlochry, Aberfeldy and Dunkeld where you will stay are full of character and the handpicked superior accommodations all offer a warm Scottish welcome.
