Despite its beauty, the Highlands and Islands is one of the least affluent regions of Scotland. By bringing the benefits of tourism to this area and using local produce and services (such as local bunkhouses, restaurants and boatmen), we help to support local businesses, create employment and contribute to the overall sustainable development of the region.
In particular, our trips to Knoydart bring valuable income to a remote and isolated community of just 60 people, helping it to grow and become more sustainable.
This holiday, like all of our trips, operates on a strict ‘leave no trace’ policy. This concept will be explained by our guide at the start of the trip and practised throughout. All of our Scotland-based trips start at railway stations to encourage travel by rail to Scotland.
All of our trips start and finish at or close to railway stations, as this makes it much easier for our clients to travel to the Highlands by rail. We encourage travel by train or bus in all of our joining instructions that we send to clients, and also have a section on our website which includes links to train timetables and booking services to make it easier for clients to choose to travel by rail.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
