In Your Element - Scotland

A Few Places Left On Great Glen Canoe Expedition, Dep: Thu 20th August 2026

We have some places left on one of our awesome, 5-day, guided canoe camping expeditions. Paddling from Fort William on the West Coast to Inverness in the east, this is an experience suitable for both inexperienced and experienced paddlers alike.

Stunning scenery, an experienced guide, excellent food, and a group of like-minded travellers.

Loch Tay Activities In The Heart of Scotland

If you are visiting Scotland this summer and touring by road, you are likely to be pretty close to Loch Tay at some point, situated in the Heart of Scotland.

Whether you travel from Stirling to the west coast on the A82, or up the A9 from Perth to Inverness, you won't be far from Loch Tay, where you could break up your journey with a quick fresh-air and fun, fix!

Archery, Loch Tay Canoe Tours, Axe-Throwing, Paddleboarding and Gorge Walking are all available over the summer. Family-friendly experiences, friendly staff, and, to make it easy for you, online booking.

If you're not already passing by Loch Tay, why not take a wee detour and say hello?

Visiting Scotland On Holiday For the First Time?

It's not all about Haggis, Kilts, Hairy Coos and under-performing football teams (take your pick!!) with the best fans in the world!! There are lots of other things to get excited about as well.

If you're travelling around Scotland, In Your Element and Active Highs have activity experiences popping up all over the place, meaning you can dip your toe in the water (literally) at one place, perhaps fire off an arrow or two at another location, and maybe swing through some trees elsewhere.

In Your Element and Active Highs have activity locations from Loch Tay in Perthshire, Fort William on the west coast, to Inverness on the east and Aviemore in the Cairngorms. Spoilt for choice!

To find out what you can do, where you can do it, and when, look no further. You might even see a kilt-wearing, haggis-eating football supporter on the back of a hairy coo along the way!

Do You Know The Difference Between Canyoning And Gorge Walking?

We are asked this question regularly. Both canyoning and gorge walking involve navigating a Highland gorge with jumping, swimming and scrambling — and both are brilliant fun. The key difference is abseiling.

If you'd like to learn a bit more about how these two awesome experiences differ, please check out our latest Active Highs blog post using the link that follows.
