A truly special experience, cruising along the Great Glen from Inverness towards Fort William, along rivers and the scenic and absorbing Caledonian Canal. Ancient castles leading to the waters' edge, heather-clad hillsides and arguable the finest inland cruising scenery in the world.

Your vessel is the Scottish Highlander - a luxury and spacious 117 foot long canal barge, with the atmosphere of a country house hotel, but with only 8 guests. Cuisone is traditional Scottish fayre - salmon, game, venison and seafood, prepared by your own master chef. Her experienced crew of four ensure attention to your every need.
