Glencoe, sea lochs and the great sporting estates, at your own pace. The Highlands are Scotland at its most dramatic, and wonderfully easy to get wrong. A private tour puts you in the hands of a chauffeur-guide who knows where to stop, when to go, and which road to take instead.

Mountains falling into long sea lochs, empty glens and a coastline scattered with islands, with long distances, single-track roads and the best places hidden from the main routes.
The Highlands are Scotch whisky’s largest region, and their malts range from light and floral to rich, spicy and gently smoky. A Highlands journey can take in distilleries along the way, with private visits and tastings arranged by our whisky team.
Oban, a small harbour distillery, and Ben Nevis at the foot of Britain’s highest mountain.
Glenmorangie and The Dalmore on the shores of the Cromarty and Dornoch Firths.
Blair Athol in Pitlochry, an easy stop on the road north.
The greatest concentration of malt distilleries in Scotland, on the eastern edge of the Highlands. Speyside whisky tours.
Add a private tasting with our whisky team at your hotel or lodge, or a visit to a warehouse to taste straight from the cask.
The Highlands are made for the unexpected. We create private experiences for our guests along the way: a luxury camp on a remote moor with whisky, cigars and fine food as the light fades over the hills; wild dining beside a sea loch; a piper on the hillside; or a bonfire on a white-sand beach with musicians playing into the night. We are only limited by our imaginations.
Your chauffeur-guide drives a comfortable, spacious vehicle and stays with you throughout. For longer distances or special occasions we can add a helicopter transfer, a private boat or a journey on the Royal Scotsman. Days are planned around realistic driving times, so you spend more of the journey out of the car than in it.
May and early June bring long days before the midges arrive. September and October are beautiful for colour, stags and salmon. Winter is quiet and atmospheric, with snow on the hills and fires lit in the houses.
The entire trip flowed seamlessly… In just a few days, we all had a chance to see and experience the very best of what Scotland has to offer.YPO retreat, 2024
Four to five days covers the west coast and Glencoe comfortably. Add two more for Skye.
Easily. Speyside lies on the eastern edge of the Highlands, and many distilleries sit along the way.
Some are narrow and winding, which is exactly why a chauffeur-guide makes the journey so much more relaxing.
Tell us when you would like to travel, who is coming and what you enjoy. We will suggest a shape for the journey and arrange every detail.
