Ben Macdui is the 2nd tallest mountain in the UK and makes for a fantastic journey across the artic-like Cairngorm plateau. 

Our experienced mountain leaders will guide you along a fantastic route from the Cairngorm ski centre. You will be able to see the impressive northern corries from above and below, follow the south-west edge of the Loch Avon basin and even view a plane wreckage, all this on the way to the apparently haunted Ben Macdui summit. 

Whether you are interested in sharing some local folklore, learning about our unique mountain flora, or you just want to bag the summit; the Ben Macdui guided hike certainly has plenty to offer.

*Please note if you are booking between November - April there is a high chance that crampons and axes will be required.

Winter Skills and or Guided Winter Walk Day

Let's be honest. We've all fancied ourselves a hero at one point or another. A monster hunter in a made-up fancy in our heads. The main character of our favourite show. Something dramatic and fantastic. 

Well, now's your chance. 

We know 'go to Loch Ness in Scotland and spot Nessie' is on many peoples' bucket lists... and we understand why. It's not just the Loch Ness monster that intrigues us, it's the black waters of her home and all the other mysteries that lie beneath. Did you know only a handful of people have permission to dive in Loch Ness? Ever wonder why? 

Maybe you'll find out on this adventure.

You know that warm feeling you get in your chest when something makes you happy? That's what we call whisky here in Scotland. It's our uisge beatha – our 'water of life'. And we welcome you to experience every bit of it. The fruity, the floral, the honeyed. Complex and striking and moreish... we can't get enough of Scottish whisky. 

Which is why we're passionate about showing it off. It's more than a drink, it's a passion project. It's a culture-defining experience and no true Scottish visit is complete without stepping inside the world of Scotch Whisky.
