Join us on our Scotland Walking Tour and we will guide you through the highlights of this enchanting country. It is a remarkable destination with so much to offer that it is a must-see at least once in your lifetime.
With its breathtaking natural landscape totally unspoiled, Scotland still has one of the largest wilderness areas in Europe!

From lochs to mountains,jagged peaks to rugged coastlines, tundra plateaus to deep forests, Scotland speaks for itself. Its history is enviable, its culture unique, and all this is still evident today from the countless castles left to show for it to the local folk music which still rings loud in pubs and inns.
On this tour, we will make our way around Scotland from Edinburgh to the northeast coast and Inverness, off west to the Isle of Skye and back down to Glasgow stopping along the way to explore castles, the Cairngorms, Loch Ness and so much more. Not to mention a trip along the Jacobite Steam Train cutting straight through the western Highlands and whisky tasting in some of the oldest distilleries.
Scotland has shaken off its old reputation for deep-fried food and unsmiling service and can now compete with the best in Europe. New-found respect for top-quality local produce means that you can feast on fresh seafood mere hours after it was caught, beef and venison that was raised just a few miles away from your table, and vegetables that were grown in your hotel’s own organic garden.

We meet at 14.30 at the hotel in Edinburgh. We start our trip with an afternoon exploring the ancient city centre of Edinburgh, capital of Scotland. The tour takes us through the heart of the city, into St Giles Cathedral founded in 1124 and along the Royal Mile, which stretches from Edinburgh Castle to Holyrood Palace and the Scottish Parliament. One of the most charming aspects of Edinburgh are the little alleys and hidden courts which give the city a distinctly medieval feel.
Don’t worry we won’t be serving you Haggis on your first night, a delicious meal awaits you!
Our day starts on a high note with a visit to Edinburgh Castle. Edinburgh Castle is one of the oldest fortified places in Europe. With a long rich history as a royal residence, military garrison, prison and fortress, it is alive with many exciting tales. When you climb Castle Hill, you will walk in the footsteps of soldiers, kings and queens – and even the odd pirate or two.
After our first Pub meal, in a cosy ancient building in the heart of the city we continue our day with a visit to the Tartan Weaving Mill, not far from the castle down the Royal Mile. The Tartan Weaving Mill is the only fully working commercial mill in the city and has one of the highest quality ranges of cashmere and lambswool products in Scotland . Here we will have the chance to watch tartan being woven on high speed powerlooms.
As we leave Edinburgh to drive northeast into the beautiful district of Fife, our first excitement, especially for engineers is the Queensferry crossing and the view of three Forth bridges crossing the Firth estuary, truly a wonder of the modern world. On a clear day, we can stop to take some great photographs.
Then we sit back and enjoy the scenery of the small coastal resort towns on our way to 14th century Kellie castle where Medieval meets Victorian when it was saved from ruin Sir Robert Lorimer, famous artistic and eccentric architect! A local dairy here makes wonderful artisan cheeses! We travel through St Andrews and the Cairngorms National Park and stop to visit Blair Castle on the outskirts of Pitlochry, home of the Atholl family for over seven centuries. The castle has a diverse history and has been adapted over 700 years to suit the needs of the family and style of the day. Home to politicians, soldiers, agriculturalists, and entrepreneurs, the family history is set against a backdrop of fine 18th century interiors and Scottish baronial architecture. Not to mention the splendid grounds where we will have the chance to see Hercules’ Garden and Diana’s Grove.
Tonight’s resting point will be in a splendid Inn in Inverness, and dinner in a local pub will be accompanied by traditional Scottish folk music.
Today we head out to the burgh of Dufftown, ‘The Whisky Capital of the World’. Here, located along the River Fidddich we will have the chance to go for a walk and along the way visit a couple of local distillery and taste traditional Scottish malt whisky.
After lunch you will be able to enjoy a free afternoon to explore the charming city of Inverness.
The mysterious waters of Loch Ness are world famous. Legend has it that a serpentine beast, the Loch Ness Monster, lurks beneath its surface. As we explore the loch onboard a boat cruise and keep our eyes out for Nessie we will be surrounded by breath-taking scenery of the Highlands, mysterious castles and mighty waterfalls. We will have the chance to see and maybe explore the ruins of the historic Urguhart castle located on the shores of the lake.
This afternoon we will be making our way over to the Isle of Skye, to the town of Portree where we will be staying.
It’s time to take a hike. Today we head up to the north of Skye and will get the chance to enjoy some of the most breathtaking scenery yet.
A pleasant walk will take us up to see one of the most iconic images of Scotland: The Old man of Storrand its rugged rocks set against the backdrop of rolling green hills and the coastline of the Isle of Skye.
After a picnic lunch or pub meal, weather depending, we will head just so slightly further north and walk out to Brothers Point, and see the Kilt Rock and Mealt waterfalls, where water gushes off the cliffs and drops down into the sea far below.
We leave Portree and the Isle of Skye behind us and make our way to Armadale, from where we will catch the ferry which will take us from Skye to Mallaig in the Western Highlands. Mallaig is a bustling fishing port and prides itself on its fresh seafood and traditionally smoked kippers.
From here after lunch we board the famous Jacobite steam train, famous in the filmed Harry Potter series, and journey through the Scottish Highlands to Fort William at the foot of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the United Kingdom. Time permitting we may also take a short walk to see Neptune’s Staircase Locks (8 total) on the Caledonian Canal, the longest in the U.K.!
Today we start back on our way South, with our destination for the end of the day being Glasgow, a vibrant and bustling city.
On our way we stop to explore and take a walk on the edge of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs national park, the largest in Scotland. Defined by its sparkling lochs, rolling hills, pine and birch forests, crumpled hills and sleepy forests – a great and scenic day out.
In the afternoon we will arrive in Glasgow where we will be staying for the next two nights.
Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland, a vibrant and ancient city with lots to offer.
This morning we will have the chance to go on a walking tour of the city centre discovering everything we can about its history and culture. Once you have had the chance to get yourselves oriented you will be free to enjoy the rest of your day exploring the city at your own pace. Glasgow truly has something to offer for every taste.
We will meet again in the evening to enjoy our final dinner together accompanied by some local music.

We – Caroline and Pino , Antonio and Simona – love our jobs and personally lead all our small group tours. Italy, Spain and England are our homes and our passion. We bring that excitement with us on all our tours so that you too share our favourite places.
We are very experienced and handle all the logistics while you relax and become immersed in the local culture, history and traditions.
We know the locals on all our trips and they love meeting our groups. We are small enough to get into private homes, chat to villagers, fit in small restaurants and enjoy all kinds of unexpected events that aren’t accessible to large groups of tourists following a red umbrella.
Our customer reviews say that Caspin Journeys takes the best care of you. We are a sustainable travel company and the only thing we leave behind is our footprints!
We believe that where you sleep is an important part of your overall travel experience. So we put a lot of effort into carefully choosing the hotels for each tour.
We always look for attractive, clean and quiet rooms with private bathrooms. But, our priority is also to find the best possible accommodations to make sure that each night you are comfortably settled in a place that is welcoming and full of authentic local charm.
The result is a fabulous selection of delightful hotels, medieval palaces, family-run hotels, country residences, manor houses, historic inns, luxurious alpine hotels – sometimes with a spa, sauna or swimming pool facilities – and all with character, good food and a friendly atmosphere.
You will have to keep coming back to experience them all! Sweet Dreams!
Getting out and about on foot is a wonderful way to slow down the pace, relax and get some healthy exercise.
When we walk we see so much more – grapevines, wildflowers, ancient oaks, wheat fields, avenues of cypresses and pine, time resistant hills and valleys.
As we stroll through historic towns we learn about the culture of the people; as we stand in the splendour of the countryside, beneath the soaring columns of ancient temples, abbey walls and turrets of medieval castles we marvel at man’s ability to conceive of and construct such monuments.
Food is an all important part of each and every one of our journeys. We are foodies, we love to savour the authentic flavours of each destination we visit. And let’s not forget the wine “the drink of the gods” which will accompany every meal, even picnics!
Picture yourself eating Buffalo mozzarella from a farm in Amalfi, tasting a Sicilian cannolo with fresh ricotta cheese, home-made pasta, organic vegetables, fresh fish and so on.
If all this sounds mouthwatering then look no further, you are in the right place 😉
On our small group tours we use a combination of gourmet restaurants, local trattorias, traditional pubs, tapas bars and farmhouse meals, to give you the best overall experience!
