Hike Highland peaks, paddle a Scottish loch, meet Highland coos, and visit Doune Castle on a private day tour from Edinburgh.

“Poppy took us on an amazing adventure through lochs and highlands that turned out so much better than if we tried to sort it all out ourselves. With her stories, insights, and conversation, we felt like we had a local friend showing us around. Our seven-year-old mentioned several times out loud how much fun she was having—not something we are used to hearing on hikes. We would definitely do tours with Scottish Odyssey again!”
