22nd December

We start out nice and early (8am from Castle Rock Hostel) to make the most of the daylight and head straight into the heart of the snow capped Highlands - Experience tales of Clan rebellion, romance and betrayal, beauty and brutality in stark contrast to each other as you step into the history steeped and snowy silent Highlands. George R.R. Martin has nothing on Scottish history.

We stop off for some whisky tasting to take away the chill before heading to Inverness for a drinks reception, and a night of laughs and relaxation.
