Overview

Go off the beaten track with your charismatic kilted storyteller Luke Skye-Walker on this 1-day executive small group tour.

This is so much more than just a tour. You will feed the ‘hairy coos’, discover unique viewpoints and Luke, the tour guide will also provide you with your own personalised drone photo at Sligachan Bridge.

Also included is the option to hike to Scotland's most breathtaking wonder, 'The Old Man of Storr', where we will toast your adventure with a dram of whisky.

You will be immersed in local lore, historical narratives and Luke's background in music and production will ensure an ethereal connection between the stunning landscape and the tour soundtrack.

The tour is very flexible. As a small group adventure we can also go off the beaten track to find other hidden gems based on the group and the weather.

So grab your boots, cameras and prepare for a more personal experience with Luke as we head into the Scottish wilderness for a once in a lifetime adventure.

Activity itinerary

Inverness
  • 20m
Our epic adventure begins in Inverness, capital of the Scottish Highlands. As we head out of the city I will immerse you in local folklore, suggest other places to visit during your stay and make suggestions about where you can discover the very best food, drink and entertainment that Inverness has to offer.
Loch Ness Region
  • 40m
First we are off to Loch Ness and to meet the hairy cows … not only will you get to meet and photograph them. I will also enhance the experience by bringing carrots so you can feed them. A unique bucket list experience for many people. You will hear all the stories of the worlds most famous Loch and see the scenery change dramatically as we head out to Skye.
Glenmoriston
  • 1h
We then head out west through spectacular glens, historical battlefields and ancient crofting communities, where I will weave fascinating stories and personally curated historical narratives into the fabric of your journey that help your understand the rich cultural heritage that saturates every corner of this land. I have also put together a soundtrack for this tour that helps you form an ethereal connection between the music and the landscape. There are further spectacular photo opportunities alongside Loch Cluanie, I will also take you to a place where if we are lucky we will hopefully get to photograph some wild deer.
Chocolates of Glenshiel
  • 30m
We will stop for a short coffee break around 1100 at an award winning chocolatier, you can even watch the chocolate being made on certain days through a viewing window.
Eilean Donan Castle
  • 15m
We make a quick stop at Eilean Donan Castle to capture that iconic shot, it was voted one of instagrams most photographed castles in 2023. We DO NOT visit this castle on this tour due to time restraints needed for hiking, however this is flexible so if the group all agrees we can adjust the schedule to spend longer here.
Skye Bridge (Pass by)
It's now just a 10 minute journey from here to the Skye Bridge, get ready to cross 'over the sea to Skye' and on to Broadford, the second largest town on the island.
Broadford (Pass by)
We will stop at Broadford on the return journey later, but as we pass through keep your eyes on Broadford bay as sea eagles, puffins (May and June), dolphins, seals, minke whales, basking sharks and the humpback whale are all spotted along the east and west coast of Skye regularly. We will of course make photo stops if these opportunities should arise on our adventure.
Sligachan Old Bridge
  • 20m
Sligachan Old Bridge is the first of Skye’s many otherworldly locations, you will also get the opportunity here to immerse yourself in a famous fairy legend. Sligachan is also the location for my trademark bridge drone photo, examples can be seen on my instagram page.
Portree Harbour
  • 1h
Next we arrive at the quaint capital of the island, here you can enjoy your lunch and grab some photos of the picturesque harbour with its pastel coloured houses. Always a pretty picture to be had here come rain or shine and sometimes snow.
The Old Man of Storr
  • 2h
HIKE: rated easy to moderate. The jewel in the crown of this tour ! ...take a hike right up to the Old Man of Storr! This iconic towering landmark on the Isle of Skye is a spectacular 160 ft volcanic plug left behind after massive landslides swept the rest of the hillside away. It’s a steady climb and the rewards are magnificent. The Old Man of Storr is just one element in an array of fantastic geological features located between the Trotternish Ridge and the sea. Awe inspiring and much photographed, you will without doubt feel like you have walked onto the film set of ‘The Lord of the Rings’.
Fairy Pools
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
After a short easy hike to the Fairy Pools, the adventurers among us can take a dip in the crystal-clear cascading rock pools. It’s a beautiful location and a photographers dream even if the skies are grey and mysterious, with plenty of scenic paths through countryside that are home to red deer, rabbits, and sheep. The pools are home to many myths and legends, I will even immerse you in playlist of fairy music as our journey approaches this magical place !
Sligachan (Pass by)
As we travel back from Fairy Pools to Broadford, there's even time for some interesting trivia
Broadford
  • 30m
There's an opportunity to sample a famous old drink here, grab tea and coffee or browse the gift shop.
Inverness
  • 2h
The music is sure to sound even better after that dram as we return to Inverness. There's several opportunities for photo stops and toilet breaks on the way back if required. Note: The remaining time is for the round tour and time spent sightseeing or explorations. We usually return to Inverness sometime between 7-8pm.
