FOUR SUGGESTED DAY TRIPS IN THE HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND

The following four day trips from your holiday accommodation at Shenval organic B&B are only a sample of the numerous car tours we suggest to our guests. Alternative places to visit include the Isle of Skye, Ben Nevis and Fort William, the Loch Ness trail and many more… They allow the visitor to gain an overall impression of the variety of landscapes and of the natural and human heritage the Highlands of Scotland have to offer. Catering for all tastes and ages these tours offer opportunities to visit museums, whisky distilleries, castles, gardens or to do a bit of shopping, beachcombing, nature trail walking or wildlife watching. The traveller is really spoilt for choice!
