The 'Flower of Caithness' was built in Scotland in 1997 as a faithful copy of the 19th century American coasting schooners. The schooner, which took part in the 1999 'Cutty Sark Tall Ships Race', has been designed for comfort below decks, and although she can sleep nine we take a maximum of six guests on our cruises. For heating in inclement weather we have a traditional wood burning stove. You are welcome to just sit back and enjoy the cruise, but guests who wish to do so are encouraged to take an active part in the sailing of this very special small ship.
Our cruising area for the next couple of years will be the Scottish North West Coast from the Sound of Mull to the Outer Hebrides and the Orkney Isles. Cruises depart from Kyle of Lochalsh, the picturesque railhead for the Isle of Skye. The Scottish West Coast is one of the finest sailing areas in the world. The scenery is a spectacular blend of sea, sky and mountains, and the whole area is rich in wildlife and steeped in history. You will have the opportunity to visit castles and prehistoric sites, see whales, dolphins and a myriad of seabirds, enjoy some of the most wonderful seafood in the world and of course meet the helpful and friendly locals.
