Top 10 City Tours in Scottish Highlands, Scotland

March 11, 2022 Hector Krause

The moody, romantic Scottish Highlands start at Loch Lomond just north of Glasgow. Comprising a slew of mountain ranges, this sparsely populated land is best seen by train on the West Highland Line. Mountains, lochs, bright heather and rhododendrons give way to white sand beaches and rugged coves as the train nears Mallaig. For a more active take on the region, hike the West Highland Way or visit the Trossachs National Park. Ben Nevis, a popular climbing spot, looms over the town of Fort William.

I booked Cameron to provide a tour of Isle of Skye for my husband and father-in-law, for my husband's 40th birthday. They had an amazing time with Cameron and said it was a trip of a lifetime! From my end, Cameron was so helpful in planning, responded quickly and pricing was reasonable for services. He also provided me updates and photos once he located the boys, so I knew that everything was going as I had planned.

7. Inverness: Gateway to the Highlands Walking Audio Tour by VoiceMap

1a High St, Inverness IV3 8LS, UK VoiceMap Inverness

Kilts, bagpipes, Gaelic, clans and hot Jacobites (I'm looking at you, Jamie Fraser) - so many of our Scottish stereotypes come from the Highlands. Inverness has always been the capital of the Highlands, the gateway between the Highland and Lowland communities. Yet Inverness has a complicated relationship with its Highland heritage. On this tour, you will delve into that relationship through ancient legends, invented traditions and a battle about a cheese. This audio tour takes you on a 3km walk around the highlights of the town. It takes an hour without stopping but you can pause the tour whenever you choose. The audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smart phone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.

Inclusions: Lifetime access to Inverness: Gateway to the Highlands tour, VoiceMap Application, Offline access to audio, maps, and geodata

Exclusions: Smartphone, Transportation, Food/Drink, Tickets or entrance fees to any museums or other attractions en route
