Day 4
Loch Ewe, United Kingdom
Sail through the Sea of the Hebrides to the Isle of Skye, known for its rugged landscapes, picturesque fishing villages, and medieval castles.

Today, one of the best known highlights of the loch is Inverewe Gardens, initially curated by a private land owner and currently managed by the National Trust of Scotland. Enjoy a relaxed morning amongst the broad collection of flora, while keeping an eye out for the Scottish Big 5 of red squirrel, red deer, otter, seal, and golden eagle that call this area of the world home. ...
