Trip Overview
* Join expert guides to seek out wildlife on foot, by boat
and on “Land Rover safari”
* Cruise to Scotland’s remote Outer Hebrides, where
millions of seabirds nest
* Stay at a luxury lodge at Alladale Wilderness Reserve
in the heart of the Highlands
During a far northern summer, as the days stretch toward
almost perpetual light, the wild islands off Scotland’s
far northwest coast are a flurry of life. Millions of seabirds
nest in some of the largest rookeries in the world, while
whales and seals feed in clear waters warmed by the Gulf Stream.
As we explore the coves and cliffs of the Outer Hebrides,
we also find remnants of ancient human culture, from Iron
Age stone forts to embellished Celtic crosses. Inland, the
rugged Highlands abound with wildlife in the boreal forest
and heather moorlands. Come, discover wild, mystical Scotland.
