The Highland Thistle is an exploration of the most dramatic landscape the UK has to offer. Peaks, Glens and Highland crags scatter this dramatic landscape shaped by glaciers past.
Five days and five nights will see us start our journey in the historic city of Edinburgh before departing to our Highland base accommodation for the remainder.
Covering approximately 800 miles from our start point, the Thistle will see drivers take on some of the most challenging driving roads - technical yet highly rewarding, with some of the most beautiful vistas on our island.
Time is on our side, with plenty of opportunity to pause and breathe in the Highland air as we venture North.
