Seeking Thin Places in Scotland
with Phil & Stacey Oehler
A detailed schedule will be sent to participants 30 days before travel. Even then, we leave space for unexpected finds and little surprises. Rest assured, for this tour, we will visit historic churches and cathedrals, enjoy castles and nature walks and guided tours, meet with friends who are Presbyterian ministers, enjoy private concerts with world class musicians and have a chance to attend a worship service.
Join Phil & Stacey for a rich journey of history, music, laughter, stunning landscapes and connection.
Itinerary
July 16-26, 2027
Scotland is known for its "thin places," where the boundary between the physical world and the spiritual realm is perceived as being especially permeable. Originating from Celtic and other traditions, thin places bring a heightened sense of peace and the feeling that heaven and earth are closer together. They can be sacred sites like holy wells or ancient churches, but they can also be ordinary places like mountains, seashores, or even personal, quiet moments where one feels a deeper connection to something holy. Come explore the sacred places of Scotland with us!
Note: this is an exploratory tour. We will set the itinerary when we have a minimum number of participants to book hotels. We stay three nights each in three locations with a final night in Edinburgh before flights out the next day.
Did you know?
Our tours are different than most. We follow a model of Regenerative Tourism, meaning we strive to leave a place better than we found it. Tours are carefully curated to support Scottish communities and be mindful of areas that are overtouristed. You will be seeing Scotland with local guides and friends who show up to share music and stories. You will not be seeing this enchanting land through a coach window with quick stops. We take our time and a portion of every tour goes back to conservation efforts in the areas we visit. Thanks for supporting small businesses and community efforts around Scotland!
