Getting the most out of your stay in Scotland means being able to explore all that this beautiful country has to offer. From towering mountains to quiet glens; bustling cities to quaint villages, there’s so much to explore. Fortunately you don’t need to drive your own car to see such sights – there are plenty of other options available to you. So once you have settled into Ness Walk Hotel in Inverness, explored our grounds and enjoyed something to eat, it’s time to get out and about and experience everything the Highlands have to offer. Here are some ways to do so without needing to drive yourself.
Chauffeur-driven cars & private tours
Discovering Scotland from the road makes for a thrilling ride, especially if you travel along the North Coast 500. Hiring a chauffer to take you means more time to look at the stunning scenery. It also means that you don’t need to worry about designated drivers should you stop at a distillery (or two!) on your way round, such as Glenmorangie.
A private tour allows you to select only the points on the map you are interested in visiting. From the fascinating history of the ancient Clava Cairns and Culloden Battlefield to luxury country tailor Campbells of Beauly, you choose how to spend your day, and how long to spend at each location. For those visiting to trace family histories, you can focus on the areas most personal to you.
Hire cars with chauffeurs in Inverness include Highland Chauffeur Drive and Luxury Highland Chauffeur. If you would like assistance in arranging this service for you, please let us know.
See Scotland from above
Have you considered taking to the skies and seeing Scotland from a different perspective? Helicopter tours are a popular activity for those wanting to make the most of their time here. As if Scotland’s landscape isn’t stunning enough from the ground, seeing it from above showcases it’s rugged beauty over rolling hills, deep lochs and spectacular coastlines.
As always, if you would like us to help with organising this for you, please do let us know. There are many options to choose from, including Highland Helicopter Tours.
For something a bit different, have you ever considered flying in an open gyrocopter? They are not for the faint of heart, but make for a remarkable story to tell everyone back home. These flights are available from Inverness Airport, very close to Ness Walk, and we will be happy to arrange a private car to take you and bring you back.
