On this ever popular island hoping extravaganza, we will tour of the magnificent landscapes of the Highlands and the remote tranquillity of the Islands of Western Scotland. After calling off at the largest stone circle in Scotland, near Dumfries we will catch the ferry to the beautiful Isle of Arran, where we will spend the night at the McClaren Hotel with spectacular views over Brodick bay. Machrie Moor on Arran has been described as a Megalithic Carnival of ancient sites and a visit to this amazing complex, surrounded by mountains and rolling hills, makes for a wonderful evening.

On day two we will take our second ferry off the opposite side of the island in to discover the 'Valley of the Kings' and the visitors centre, of the Kilmartin Glenn, another of the most important areas of ancient history. We will explore the sites of the Isle of Skye and have a full day on the Isle of Lewis, the location of the amazing Callanish complex, one of the wonders of the Neolithic World. Our journey to the Outer Hebrides will again involve ferry journeys and we will also visit one of the best preserved ancient Brochs and will reach our furthest point north at the largest megalith/standing stone in Scotland.

For the first time in 2011, we will quest out the sites around the Lock Ness area and on our journey home we will spend a peaceful evening in the hotel on the banks of Loch Long.
