Why Celtic Compass

When journeying to new places or revisiting to get a deeper understanding of a place, in-depth knowledge can make all the difference between what would be termed a visit to a place and what would be termed an experience that is unforgettable, with memories that will last a lifetime.  Celtic Compass has been created to help people get a greater sense of the places they travel to;  the remote, ancient, sacred and less explored sites of Scotland. 

These are small group tours with more time spent at sites than travelling.  As these are small group tours it allows for a real connection to the places that we take you and time and the opportunity to make new friends for life.

Your guides are all experts in their fields and passionate about their subjects, have many years experience of guiding and want to share their knowledge with you.  With Celtic Compass the magnificent country of Scotland is explored through storytelling in the bardic style, folklore, poetry, geology, history, art, archeoastronomy and ecology.  This gives a fascinating and unique insight into Scotland.
