real adventure by day. Earned luxury by night.
Some experiences are designed to be enjoyed and forgotten by Monday. This is not one of them.
The Crossbill Syndicate delivers bespoke corporate adventures and private wilderness experiences across the Scottish Highlands. For those who want to go beyond the ordinary. Into wild country, genuine adventure and experiences that stay with you.
WHY WORK WITH US
We are industry experts. A carefully assembled team of expedition leaders, first ascentionists, medical experts and military personnel.
We live and breathe the mountains and the sea. Years spent operating in remote and demanding environments have taught us how to read people, manage risk and make good decisions when the margin for error is small.
That experience allows us to create experiences that genuinely challenge people, while knowing when to push, when to adapt and when to bring everyone home safely. Whether your team has spent years in wild places or has never laced a pair of boots, we know how to make the experience meaningful.
Nothing is off the shelf.
Every experience is designed from the ground up around your team, your objectives and your vision. We take on only a handful of projects each year, giving every one the time, attention and expertise it deserves.
The Scottish Highlands are one of the last places in the UK where people can be properly tested by the environment. We believe that kind of experience should be delivered exceptionally, or not at all.
What's possible with us
Breathwork and wellness
Guided breathwork, meditation and yoga, on their own or woven into a wider adventure. A different kind of effort from the physical, one that settles the mind and teaches people something about how they hold stress.
Rock Climbing
Whether it is your first time on a rope or you have climbed for years, the day is built around your ability and what you want from it. Scottish crags and mountain routes, from an afternoon learning the moves to a long multi-pitch line with air beneath your feet.
Whisky Tasting + Bothy Walk
A walk into the hills to a bothy, and a dram once you are there. The route is chosen to suit the day and the group, an afternoon's walk through open country to a shelter that takes some reaching. When you arrive, a tasting of Scottish whiskies chosen with care, drunk somewhere you cannot drive to.
Wild Swimming & Sauna
Guided breathwork, meditation and yoga, on their own or woven into a wider adventure. A different kind of effort from the physical, one that settles the mind and teaches people something about how they hold stress.
Highland cooking experience
A morning foraging with an expert guide, learning to find and identify wild herbs, mushrooms and berries in season. In the afternoon we return to base camp, where a chef cooks with you using what was gathered and the best of Scottish produce. The day ends with dinner together.
Mountain walks
A guided day, or a run of days, on Scotland's highest peaks. There are 282 Munros, and getting up them safely takes more than ambition, navigation, judgement of weather and ground, and knowing when to turn back. Led by people who know these hills in all conditions. The reward is the top, and somewhere good to be at the end of it.
