• Our overseas trips are run only by our staff ensuring continuity of safety standards and expedition ethos across everything we do.
• The local mountains . . . young volcanic Alpine peaks of the Isle of Skye to our west and ancient Torridon Mountains  above Lochcarron. Nowhere in Scotland has greater geological diversity & skylines.
