Escorted tours and holidays to the Deep South

The Southern US states are their own country within a country.

The Deep South’s unique and varied culture is matched by its astoundingly diverse natural scenescapes, with everything from swampland to mountains, making it a region you don’t simply pass through.

With massive metropolitan hubs like Atlanta, Austin, and Tennessee sitting alongside tiny towns with populations in the hundreds, you can’t simply categorise the Southern US’s culture as one monolith. There’s a wealth of interesting and progressive art, music, and entertainment being produced in the Southern US states, and with Newmarket Holiday tours you’re sure to discover the best of it.

Like many parts of the country, there are also a plethora of castles on the island or nearby. Dunvegan Castle rises imposingly from Loch Dunvegan and is the largest on the island. However, don’t be afraid to indulge in an Isle of Skye tour that explores the area surrounding the island too. If you swing back to the mainland for the day you’ll get a chance to see Eilean Donan Castle, one of Scotland’s most impressive structures, as well as some of the most famous lochs, like Loch Lomond and Loch Ness. Also a short hop away is the Isle of Raasay, which is fast becoming popular in its own right thanks to its resplendent nature and isolation.

Food & Drink on the Isle of Skye

Highland cows are among some of the most prized when it comes to meat quality.

Known for their funky fringe and good nature, Skye has thousands of them. Try a local steak and you’ll be amazed at just how good beef can be.

An integral part of any successful Isle of Skye holiday is a trip to one of the island whiskey distilleries so you can taste the best of Scotland’s national drink. If you’re feeling adventurous skip over to the Isle of Raasay, which has just the one distillery on its small shores, and have a tipple there. Satisfying sweet cravings is easy in Scotland. Be sure to taste cranachan, a cream cheese dessert finished with oats and raspberries, and Scottish tablet, a crumbly sweet snack that is similar to fudge.
