This scenic journey into Scotland’s most famous and romantic glen features castles, waterfalls and iconic mountain ranges.
Discover the most famous landscape in Scotland- certainly with the most intriguing geography and history, including spectacular waterfalls and majestic mountains. You'll also see three of the best surviving castles in Scotland, with a chance to explore two of them, plus a kirk that we think is Argyll's answer to Rosslyn Chapel.
This private tour is available for up to five people, and lasts approximately 7-8 hours. We can adapt the tour to any fitness level, or simply enjoy the scenery from your luxury seat. To visit Kilchurn and Dunstaffnage castles, some walking is required.
Imagine Alba - bringing Scotland to you
Welcome!
I came to Scotland for love and stayed long enough for it to tilt my sense of the world. The Highland American follows that shift, tracing the stories, history and everyday chaos of a cottage with a mind of its own. It’s Scotland from the inside out—born from romance, shaped by curiosity, humour and the landscape that keeps me here.
About
I’m Michelle, the Highland American.
I’m an anthropologist, journalist, storyteller and tour guide whose work has carried me from the Mississippi Delta to the Levant to the Hebrides. These days I live in Argyll, Scotland with my husband, Rab.
I split my time between restoring a 300‑year‑old cottage, cooking, keeping a garden alive in west coast weather and playing the drums (while attempting to learn the bodhrán with the enthusiasm of a beginner and the technique of someone who should probably stick to a kit!)
I crossed an ocean and found a life built on love, history, sense of place and the kind of grit that gets you through a long winter. This is where I share it.
