British Isles

21st Birthday Scottish islands cruise

This is a very special trip to celebrate 21 years of the company and especially the life of it's co-founder, the late Bobby Tulloch. We visit many of the islands that he loved - including his home, Yell in Shetland - aboard a superbly equipped ship. There will be an abundance of wildlife and lots of celebrations of a life well lived! Read more about our 21st Birthday cruise

Isles of Scilly

A destination which has resisted the trimmings of modern tourism and retained it's delightful simplicity, Scilly has changed little in 20 years. The roughest of seascapes combine with sheltered spots where sub-tropical plants thrive and the islands are a birdwatcher's paradise. Read more about the Isles of Scilly

Orkney

Close to the Scottish mainland land yet completely different in character, Orkney has something for everyone. Our holiday takes in not only Mainland but also stays on Westray and its neighbour, Papa Westray, as well as visits to Rousay and South Ronaldsay. Read more about Orkney

Orkney and Shetland

This brand new tour is made possible by a twice-weekly flight between North Ronaldsay on Orkney and Fair Isle on Shetland introduced in 2007. The holiday features stays at these two world class bird observatories as well as spending a little time on Mainland Orkney and up in Shetland's Northern Isles including Fetlar where we'll be looking for Red-necked Phalarope in their most southerly breeding grounds.

Scottish Islands

Expedition cruising is the ideal way to visit some of Scotland's more remote islands - including the romantic and inaccessible St Kilda. Forget the bingo and the captain's table and instead introduce interesting lectures and specialist guides plus access to hidden coves and bays. Read more about the Scottish Islands

Shetland

The Shetland Islands lie far to the north of Scotland at the crossroad in the North Atlantic. Here you will find Britain's most northerly everything including species of birds which would normally be found in the Arctic, ancient archaeological sites and huge seabird colonies.
