    Scottish Isles rated as Tour of a Lifetime by National Geographic

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotlan...lands-26987798
    A guided holiday of Scottish islands has been listed among a world travel magazine's 50 Tours of a Lifetime.
    Wilderness Walking: The Outer Hebrides and Skye is the only UK entry on National Geographic Traveler's suggested tours to take in 2014.
    The six-day Scottish holiday starts in Inverness and takes in Harris, Skye and Scalpay.
    Also listed were a wolf-watching break in Montana and a tour of African landscapes linked to Nelson Mandela.
    Holidays in Iceland, Alaska, the Amazon and Antarctica have also been included.
    Paul Easto, managing director of the walking holiday's operator Wilderness Scotland, and VisitScotland chairman Mike Cantlay have welcomed the Scottish tour's inclusion.
    National Geographic Traveler magazine has more than eight million readers.
    Executive editor Norie Quintos said: "The selection process was competitive and our editorial team worked long and hard to find 2014's most authentic, most innovative, most immersive, best-guided, and most sustainable tours.
    "This year marks the 30th anniversary of National Geographic Traveler, which has always looked at the world through the lens of culture, nature, and history.
    "The tours we selected go beyond destination to add meaning and context."
    Regional Director for Scotland for Clan Cunningham International, and a Scottish Armiger.

    I'd agree. I have driven form Inverness, to Skye via the road to Loch Carron and the road though Glen Moriston, up through Skye to Uig, ferry to Harris, driven to Stornoway, ferry back to Ullapool and back down to Inverness> i have done this a couple of times and at different times of year. Its spectacular no matter the weather, and as a bonus, as the journey is in connection with my job, I get paid to do it .

    We've talked about making our next trip to Scotland a tour of the isles; starting with Skye, then to Harris and Lewis and working our way by ferry down to Mull and Iona. I'm not sure when it will happen, but that's the plan for now.
