The experience
The Scottish Highlands offer a timeless journey into wild, rugged beauty — where emerald hills meet ancient forests, and the legacy of proud clans lingers in every glen. Here, whisky and golf are woven into the very landscape: from Speyside’s world-renowned distilleries to legendary courses shaped by Old Tom Morris and Donald Ross. Whether exploring historic castles, encountering dolphins on the Black Isle, or teeing off against dramatic coastal backdrops, the Highlands deliver an authentic blend of heritage, nature, and golf.
