This journey will take you from flat fields and grazing cows of the Netherlands to the beautiful east coast of Scotland, with its castles, iconic islands and towns such as Inverness and Fort William. The Caledonian channel will take us right through Scotland's highlands and inner beauty. Once we are through the channel we hop along the cliffs and rugged coast of west Scotland, heading to the Orkneys and Shetland islands. Another two days sailing away is the volcanic archipelago of the Faroe Islands. Get ready for vast cliffs soaring vertically upward, hundreds of feet above the sea. Puffins, whales and eagles abound. It is beautiful and inspiring here and unlike anywhere else you will ever see. From the Faroe Islands we make the 400nm passage to Norway. Ending up along the stunning Fjords and slowly making our way south visiting small Norwegian towns, learning about it’s rich history and soaking in the rugged landscape.
