在欧洲西北尽头，有一片荒野之地，被时光雕刻、由风雨浸润，绵延着山峦、湖泊、峡谷与孤寂海岸。这里是苏格兰高地（Scottish Highlands）——被誉为“世界最具灵魂的原野”之一。不同于阿尔卑斯山的井然秩序，高地的美是粗犷的、自由的、带着古老吟游诗人叙事诗的节奏与气息。
在这条精心策划的高地探索线路上，我们将以徒步、自驾、骑行等多元的户外方式，全方位体验高地的地貌、文化与精神。用双脚丈量传奇的 苏格兰高地徒步（West Highland Way），穿越冰川雕刻出的尼维斯峡谷（Glen Nevis），仰望英国最高峰本尼维斯山（Ben Nevis）；在公认“世界最美公路之一”的 NC500（North Coast 500） 上自驾，沿着断崖海岸与原始荒野前行，从Inverness出发，抵达Thurso、Ullapool这些遥远的北地边城；在尼斯湖（Loch Ness） 岸边骑行，湖光山色宛若梦境，仿佛与风赛跑、与光同行。
苏格兰不仅是一片自然奇观之地，更是一段活的历史。我们将走进高地牧场，探访农户与高地牛为伴的生活日常；聆听吟游诗人的诗与歌，追溯凯尔特文化与克兰氏族的精神纽带；在斯凯岛（Isle of Skye） 的山谷中沉思自然之伟力。
这是一次身心的双重洗礼——你将在风中学会谦卑，于大地之上感受敬畏。这里没有浮夸的人工修饰，也没有矫揉造作的表演，有的只是原始的地貌、真挚的人情与一段段诗意又粗犷的旅程。
当你从爱丁堡出发，再回到格拉斯哥，这趟旅程所唤起的，不只是对苏格兰的向往，更是一种对自然与生命节奏的重新理解。苏格兰高地，不只是一个目的地，更是一种抵达内心深处的方式。
Arrive in the charming city of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. Recognized by UNESCO as a City of Literature, Edinburgh is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful and historically rich cities in the United Kingdom. Nestled on the coastal highlands of eastern Scotland and overlooking the North Sea, the city offers breathtaking views and a unique cultural atmosphere.
Depending on your flight schedule, you may explore the city at your own pace and immerse yourself in its distinctive character. If you arrive early, you’ll have the opportunity to join a guided City Walk, strolling through the story-filled Old Town and heading up to Calton Hill for sweeping views of the Edinburgh skyline — a perfect way to begin your journey.
Along the way, you’ll visit iconic landmarks such as the Royal Mile and Victoria Street — places that directly inspired J.K. Rowling in her creation of the Harry Potter series. Walking these historic streets feels like stepping into the real-life foundations of the wizarding world, as your guide brings to life the stories behind beloved characters and magical settings.
Later in the day, we will hold a brief welcome and pre-departure meeting to introduce your trip leader and fellow travelers, go over key itinerary highlights and important notes, and ensure everyone is well-prepared for the journey ahead through Scotland.
