Wild food cookery weekend in Scotland
The most memorable and exciting part of the holiday was drinking nettle beer as the sun went down on the Saturday night. We'd had a busy day digging, foraging and cooking, so seeing it all come together at the end of the day with a crackling fire and that beautiful view of the valley below was truly memorable. (more)
From £150 - £170 excluding flights

Scottish Highlands nature retreat & activity holiday
The most memorable part of the holiday was during dolphin-watching, when a baby dolphin with it’s' mother, dived in and out of the water, around both sides of our boat. They swam very close to us. Sarah, who steered the boat, knew the sea area near Cromarty and the Black Isle extremely well. She gave us an informative and exhilarating boat journey. (more)
From £400 - £450 excluding flights
Canoeing in North West Highlands
The highlight was the scenery, the lack of signs of any kind of civilisation as far as could be seen, the changing weather, being out in the weather and alive to it all the time.  (more)
From £575 excluding flights
Crieff accommodation in Perthshire, Scotland
