"If you squeeze aboard, sir, madam, you can settle into the lounge car and mull over the list of single malts." For 140 years the Caledonian Sleeper has been carrying passengers from late evening in London to sunrise in Scotland. We're excited to experience the romance of rail travel that has not been lost on this timeless journey.

Given Carolina's true hippie, gypsy leanings and Colby's fond memories of the Wood family's 1976 VW bus before the best man, Gary Wood turned it into the Led Zeppelin traveling sound machine and drove off into the L.A. sunset, what better wheels could we choose for our Highland adventure? Likely quite a few, but that's not the point! http://www.caledonianclassics.co.uk/cars/vw-camper-van-yellow/

There's nothing quite like the freedom of the long open road. Never-ending back roads, wide meandering country tracks and beautiful bends through some of Scotland's finest coastal scenery. These are just a few things we expect to see along the North Coast 500 - Scotland's answer to Route 66.

Many believe the best to experience the beauty of Scotland is from the sea. This very special little cruise ship explores the Highlands, islands, lochs and remote mainland areas that aren't as accessible from the road.

Boasting the title of ‘Europe’s longest champagne bar’ the 98m space housing the St Pancras Grand Champagne Bar is truly breath taking. The magnificent location allows panoramic views of the entire station terminal, showcasing the glorious wrought iron and glass ceiling overhead. Twelve banquettes line the length of bar and flattering pools of light from Art Deco lamps encourage intimate conversations. With a ‘press for champagne’ button and table service your glass will never be empty.

Situated on the quaint Market Square in Dornoch along North Coast 500, this traditional Castle and Tower offers the very best in Scottish hospitality.

"The proper drinking of whisky is more than indulgence; it is a toast to a civilisation, a tribute to the continuity of culture, a manifesto of man's determination to use the resources of nature to refresh mind and body and enjoy to the full the senses with which he has been endowed." David Daiches

Standing proudly above the beach at the northernmost tip of Scotland, Ackergill Tower is one of the most atmospheric and iconic castles imaginable. Steeped in over 500 years of fascinating history and shrouded in mystery and romance, this beautiful castle is an incomparably magical setting.

There is nowhere in the Highlands and Islands quite like The Three Chimneys and The House Over-By. One of Scotland's most iconic restaurants with rooms, it is set in a stunning location beside the sea in north west Isle of Skye.

The Three Chimneys Restaurant is set within the stone walls of an origninal island croft house, dating back over 100 years. Candle-lit, cosy and romantic, it is professionally recognised and very well-known for serving the best, seasonal produce home-grown on the island, fresh seafood, fish, locally reared lamb, beef and game.

This Workshop is the first and most important step into the magic world of Photography.
