Experience the spectacular, romantic landscapes of the Scottish Highlands and Islands on this scenic cruise among the lochs of the Western Highlands and the islands of the Inner Hebrides. The dramatic interplay of mountain, moor, and sea, with the constantly changing sky and seascape is a keynote feature of the landscape and is at one with the Highland character: uncompromising, noble, spiritual, and generous. Travel aboard the 48-guest luxury yacht Lord of the Glens through the Caledonian Waterway from the North Sea to the Atlantic Ocean, and to the islands of the Inner Hebrides. You'll discover secluded villages, ancient sites, verdant landscapes, and engaging people for an intimate perspective on Scottish life — past and present — and enjoy a choice of excursions, from walks through the landscape to tours of castles and historic sites.Smithsonian Experts
