SCOTTISH HIGHLANDER

Scottish Highlander
 

THE 8 PASSENGER SCOTTISH HIGHLANDER .... was new for 2000 and has the atmosphere of a Scottish Country House with subtle use of tartan furnishings and landscape paintings. At 117 feet she is spacious and has every cruising comfort for year round cruising

She was built in 1931, in theNetherlands as a trading barge. She served as a trading barge for her first 60 years, transporting grain and various commodities throughout the Netherlands.

In 1991, she was purchased and renovated and in April 1993 to begin her career as a passenger ship.

Cuisine is traditional Scottish fare - Salmon, Game, Venison and Seafood, prepared by your own Master Chef. The experienced crew of four ensure attention to your every need. A cruise along the Great Glen encounters some of Scotland's finest scenery.

The warm and welcoming saloon features rich-coloured wooden panelling, large picture windows and comfortable leather Chesterfield sofas to relax in, perhaps with a mellow single malt whisky from the very well-stocked bar.

There is a cosy observation area behind the wheelhouse where you can admire the passing scenery and chat to the Captain about life on the Caledonian Canal and its interconnecting lochs. On the forward deck area, there is more seating where you can take in the far-reaching views and take photographs as Scottish Highlander plots her course past landmarks such as Urquhart Castle perched alongside Loch Ness.

Shampoo, washing gel, hand soap, hair dryers and towels are provided. The barge is wired for 240 volts throughout yhe barge.
