Tour 1

Crofting All the Way to Skye 

Cost: $60

The Highlands and Islands of Scotland offer an especially unique and cultural perspective to agricultural production. "Crofting" is a unique land tenure system that involves small-scale farming and food production. This traditional way of life in the Scottish Highlands and Islands is returning to reinvigorate future generations of local farmers. During this tour, participants will take a hired coach to Skye, stopping along the way to tour a local croft. Once in Skye, participants will be able to experience the local area by touring a castle and exploring downtown Portree. For lunch, participants will engage with the local Director of the Crofting Federation, to learn more about the future of crofting. Heading back to Inverness, participants will stop at and tour another croft, before arriving back in Inverness.

Tour duration: 10 hours



Tour 2

All That is Distilleries

Cost: $40

Scotland boasts one of the most active distillery venues in the world. Scotch (or Scottish Whiskey, as it is known to the locals) is one of the premier products produced and exported from Scotland. In this tour, participants will look at Scottish Whiskey production from two perspectives - general production and malting. Participants will engage in a tour of a local distillery, as well as stopping for a tasting at another local distillery. After a local lunch, participants will again hop back in the bus for a trip to tour a local malting facility, before arriving back in Inverness.

Tour duration: 7 hours


Tour 3

Did You See the Loch Ness Monster?

Cost: $10

Scotland not only boasts unique agriculture and natural resources, but also has an active and exciting cultural background. History and local lore plays an important role in all that is Scottish Culture, and the Loch Ness Monster is no exception. Participants of this tour will depart on a historical Jacobite Cruise, to learn more about Loch (Gaelic for "lake") Ness and hopefully spot the Loch Ness Monster. Once participants are safely back on shore, they will explore Urquhart Castle. From there, participants will go to Hydro Ness Park and learn more about hydro energy and its role in local energy production. Participants will end up back at the Kingsmill hotel.

Tour duration: 4 hours
