About Scottish Highlander

At 117 feet long, Barge Scottish Highlander is spacious and has every comfort needed for enjoying the magnificence of the Highlands during Spring, Summer, and Autumn.

Scottish Highlander has the atmosphere of a comfortable country house with subtle use of tartan furnishings and landscape paintings. It is a reminder of the spectacular surroundings to be seen on your voyage.

Accommodation for eight guests is provided in three staterooms and one larger junior suite (Cameron Suite), all with en-suite facilities and central heat. Three guest cabins can be configured with either twin beds or a double, according to your preference. The Cameron Suite is a double-bedded cabin .

Relax in the warm and welcoming saloon which features rich-colored wooden paneling, large picture windows, and comfortable leather Chesterfield sofas… perhaps with a mellow, singlemalt whisky from the very well-stocked bar.

There is a cosy observation area behind the wheelhouse where you can admire the passing scenery and chat to the Captain about life on the Caledonian Canal and its interconnecting lochs.

On the forward deck area, there is a large table and seating for 8 guests where you can take in the far-reaching views and snap photographs as Scottish Highlander plots her course past landmarks such as Urquhart Castle perched alongside Loch Ness.

A six-night cruise includes all meals, open bar, daily escorted excursions, local transfers and use of barge facilities such as bicycles. Cuisine is traditional Scottish fare — salmon, game and seafood, prepared by your own Master Chef. The experienced crew of five will take care of your every need.
