Starting in the shadow of the neo-Gothic Inveraray Castle, Dun na Cuaiche is a great, waymarked, short but steep walk up to an 18th century watch-tower above Inveraray village on Loch Fyne. Caerlaverock Castle means Castle of the Lark and has stood imposing over Scotland’s great lands for over 400 years. This idyllic forest area is perfect for mountain bikers and hikers a like and is the perfect spot to appreciate Scotland in all its glory.Magical and majesty Caerlaverock Castle looks over Scotland’s gorgeous kingdom with its unique and eye catching shaped rank. I recommend hiking The Mountain Trail, Britain’s only waymarked mountain walk, which takes you through Scots pines and a scramble up quartzite rocks to reach panoramic views of the nature reserve.

You will walk around the coast from here- be sure to explore the lighthouse too- it’s the only square-shaped lighthouse in Scotland! The country is explored through storytelling, folklore, poetry, geology, history, art, archeoastronomy and of course its food and drink!Some of the birds you’ll see on Handa island include puffins, guillemots, razorbills , fulmars, kittiwakes and great skuas. This secluded holiday home is ideal for those seeking a peaceful retreat into nature, with the nearest village with amenities lying just over 20 miles away. The Cluanie Inn is one of the best pubs in Scotland and a great place to stop for a bite to eat to take in the gorgeous scenery. It was fought over between the Scottish and the English during the Wars of Independence [1296-1356] and again in the sixteenth century. Nestled into the remote countryside of Newton, near Lochmaddy, North Uist, this family holiday cottage surrounds itself with beautiful scenery, perfect for those wishing to explore the landscape through hiking, cycling and wild-swimming.
