“I’ve been lucky enough to travel all over the world but nowhere compares to the place I now call home. Inverewe Gardens has to be one of my favourite spots, with its exotic plants, native wildlife and glorious views.”

“For me, nothing beats the rail journey from Fort William to Mallaig. As the train slows down and crosses the viaduct at Glenfinnan you can hear the oohs and aahs echo throughout the carriage!”

“The Outer Hebrides are hard to beat for scenery and I love Orkney and Shetland, but I do have a special affection for the Scottish Borders with its fine mansions and rolling hills.”

“Highly enjoyable. We managed to see so much of the islands thanks to the knowledge of our local driver and the enthusiasm of our tour manager. I had a list of must-sees, all of which I saw, and so much more besides.”
