Inclusions |
Scotland is rightly proud of its reputation for its wonderful natural larder and those who produce mouth-watering creations. Join Hebridean Princess, on this gastronomic voyage, as you explore the wonderful culinary offerings of the Highlands and Islands.
On Colonsay, meet the man who supplies Hebridean Princess with oysters and learn about his other passion - honey and the native black bees he keeps. Sample his wares ahead of a cruise of the Small Isles which highlights their diversity. At Armadale we learn of Clan Donald history and heritage at the Museum of the Isles and sample highland hospitality with lunch at Kinloch Lodge, a jewel nestled on the hills of Skye. A gentle stroll ashore at Shieldaig creates an appetite for lunch at the fine dining restaurant at the Torridon Hotel before relaxing on board as we relish a scenic sail of stunning Loch Torridon and the east coast of Skye.
Steaming into Loch Dunvegan we visit the oldest continually inhabited castle in Scotland, Dunvegan Castle, and savour lunch at the world renowned Three Chimneys Restaurant. Step ashore on the wildlife haven of Rum for refreshing walks and enjoy a drink at the most remote pub on the British mainland, the Old Forge at Inverie. Tour Scotland`s greenest distillery, Ardnamurchan, and travel to Isle of Mull Cheese, the only dairy farm on the island, to learn how the local cheeses are made by hand. Your culinary adventure concludes with a champagne reception at Duart Castle, hosted by Sir Lachlan Maclean, Chieftain of Clan Maclean.
