Highlights

Corgarff - The Watchers Art Installation and A Moment in Time

Four specially commissioned sculptural seats by John Kennedy on the infamous Lecht Road which sits at 637m above sea level offers spectacular views towards Corgarff Castle. The Watchers adds some new but similar formed cowels clustered on the hillside close to the existing standing stone. These contain seating and provide hooded shelters for individuals in a wind and snow-swept environment.

The Watchers installation has a significant relationship with the Castle, which was already established by the existing standing stone sculpture ‘A Moment in Time’ by Louise Gardiner which was designed to frame telescopic views of the Castle.

A true gem! - Our guide Jacqueline was so nice, informative and really knows the area so well. The van was very comfortable, she knows great places along the ways and was an absolute charm. I will def use again if I get a chance to go back to Scotland.

Amazing Tour - Jacqueline - THANK YOU for the amazing tour. My first visit to Scotland was in 2019 and now in 2023 you made my second visit more memorable for being able to see the beauty of the northern side of scotland visiting Highlands, Inverness and Loch Ness.

Hidden gem - The trip is great, very well timed and Jacqueline is a pleasant and caring guide as well as an excellent driver. The vehicle she used for my tour was snall, but perfect for our group. Families or group of friends shoup definitely book this tour as they will end up having a private tour, which is amazing. Unfortunately Jacqueline could not give us the tales and history of Scotland since she did not have much of a voice today. Nevertheless, she did not cancel the tour and gave us explanations about all our stops and did it graciously. Jacqueline is extremely professional and we can see that the itinerary has been carefully chosen. Thank you so much.😊

Highly recommend this tour! - Went on this tour with a group of friends and would highly recommend it. We were the only ones to have booked the tour this day, but it went on ahead anyways. Our tour guide Jacqueline was very sweet and knew about a lot of Scottish history and fun facts. The tour is great if you want to see a lot of different places in Northern Scotland which are difficult to get to without a vehicle. Really enjoyable and a great way to spend a day sightseeing in Scotland. Would definitely do it again.

Please see above - I was scheduled to take the Scottish highlands tour with my father. The day before the tour he developed a cough, sore throat and some congestion. Out of courtesy and caution to other tour members we decided not to go on the tour and reached out to the company the day before. We were flatly told that company policy was “no refunds for cancellations within 24 hours”. I understand the need for a policy but it would seem this would discourage sick customers from doing the responsible thing and cancel and encourages customers to “go anyway” and possibly expose other customers to illness(most notably Covid in these times)
