Mind and Body
We welcome travelers with a sense of adventure. Travelers should be open to new experiences, enjoy people and conversations, be flexible, and be of sound mind and body. Daily group events are scheduled with a small amount of time to explore on your own. Travelers are encouraged to arrive early or extend their stay for independent exploration in Scotland and surrounding countries.

Due to the nature of the places we’ll be visiting and mode of transportation, you must pack light, be able to climb up to 3 flights of stairs with your small suitcase, walk on uneven ground and up & down hills, sit in a van for up to 3 hours at a time, endure  a  damp climate, be prepared for winding roads and open water ferry travel.   No smoking is allowed in our lodgings, in vehicles, and in all the public venues in Scotland.
