Scotland holistic and wellbeing holidays
It was all good! The relaxation break offered us a variety of activities, as well as the opportunity to just be restful. The small size of the group meant it was possible to get to know the other guests quite well and there were many interesting conversations.  (more)
From £695 - £795 excluding flights
Yoga and relaxation holiday, Scotland
The most memorable parts were: felting, listening to the storyteller by the fireplace, visiting Glen Affric and the waterfalls, delicious food. It was an unforgettable week of active relaxation! (more)
From £695 - £795 excluding flights
Cairngorms B & B accommodation, Scotland
B&B was excellent with very comfortable accommodation, great food, wonderful Highland stoneware crockery (a personal favourite) and fantastic facilities. (more)
From £37 - £40 per person per night incl breakfast
Railway walking tours of the Scottish Highlands
We saw so much of Scotland both on trains and on foot. The scenery is spectacular and the walking is demanding enough to be satisfactory but not too exhausting. (more)
From £835 - £985 excluding flights
Family holidays in Scotland, nature activity & wildlife watching
I loved it! It helped the environment and taught you a lot about the area and animals around you. We were kept entertained and had a really fun time - I will always remember this holiday. (more)
From £400 - £600 excluding flights
Scottish Highlands luxury self catering accommodation
The setting of the cottage itself and views from the hot tub were most memorable. We were in Rose, the smaller cottage, and the views were beautiful...The whole family, including boys of 10 and 5, loved it. Being on a croft with the animals made it extra special. (more)
From £450 - £2200 per cottage per week (sleeps 2-16)
Walking navigation & mountaineering courses in Scotland
The highlight was seeing scotland for the first time, learning new skills, enjoying the company. The satisfaction of getting to the top of 2 munros. (more)
From £183 - £477 excluding flights
Snowhole expedition, Scotland
Most memorable was learning to self-arrest with an ice-axe - sliding head first and face down on an icy slope! (more)
From £382 excluding flights
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
Traditional crafts holiday in Scotland, felt making
I loved the whole process of gathering natural materials (lichen, fungus, nettles, birch bark, etc) to dye the wool, the dyeing itself and the amazing array of colours we created with single and secondary dyes. (more)
From £650 - £750 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
Ullapool self catering cottages, Scotland
The view from each window spectacular and so close to the loch that it was almost like being on a boat at times! Views changed with the stillness of the water or with the time of day and weather. Misty mountains at dawn to orange and red sunsets and each day and time different from dawn to dusk.  (more)
From £190 - £600 per week (sleeps 4-6)
