Essential Scotland

Journey through Scotland on this eight-day adventure from Glasgow to Edinburgh. Travel along the scenic railway through the Scottish Highlands, take in the coastal views with a hike on the Isle of Mull and learn how cheese is made on a tour of the Isle of Mull Cheese Farm. Look for the famous mythical creature as you drive past Loch Ness on your way to Inverness, hear the folk tales about fairies as you explore the Fairy Glen on a daytrip to the Isle of Skye and enjoy plenty of free time to explore Scotland at your own pace with your new friends!Accommodation on this trip is in multi-share dormitories with shared facilities. Dorms consist of 3-6 beds. Our first preference is always single gender rooming allocation. If this isn’t possible, accommodation will be in mixed gender dorms. People travelling together may be separated due to rooming configurations. You may also be required to share with non-Intrepid travellers., This trip travels primarily on public transport. We recommend packing light as you'll be required to carry your own luggage between train stations and hotels, which can include walking up stairs and over cobblestones. Train stations often don’t have elevator access., This trip is made for travellers who value their independence but also want the benefit of a local leader and a group of like-minded travellers. The itinerary has plenty of free time where your leader will offer suggestions. Please budget spending money for optional activities you want to partake in and public transport to those activities., As this trip only has limited time in Glasgow and Edinburgh, we highly recommend staying a few extra days before or after your tour to enjoy all these amazing cities have to offer.
