Join us for a special three-day tour through some of
Day One: Edinburgh to
From Fort William we travel through the striking scenery of the Great Glen and its three lochs; Loch Lochy, Loch Oich and Loch Ness. We continue to the charming village of Fort Augustus then follow the entire length of Loch Ness. There is a stop at Urquhart Castle, where you can visit the castle and enjoy an optional short cruise on Loch Ness *.
It's then just a short drive to Inverness, our home for the next two nights. Your stay in Inverness is unescorted, so you can enjoy your free time here as you please.
Leaving Inverness behind we make our way to Garve then on through Strath Bran to the remote village of Achnasheen. From there we strike out through picturesque Glen Carron, stopping to enjoy the panoramic views over Loch Carron.
We cross "over the sea to Skye” and follow the picturesque coastal route, enjoying the wonderful vista over the sea lochs to the Isle of Scalpay. There are grand views of the mighty Cuillin Hills too as we make our way to Portree, the island’s main town. We’ll make a stop here so you can discover the town on your own and enjoy time for lunch. The colourful houses that surround the harbour make a wonderful backdrop for an "I was there” selfie!
Returning to the mainland we stop to visit fairytale Eilean Donan Castle set on its little island on Loch Duich. There is time to explore this iconic castle before our return journey continues through Glen Shiel, where the Five Sisters of Kintail will come into view. These soaring peaks are each over 3,000 feet (914 m) high!
The final part of our journey takes us through Glen Moriston to the timeless beauty of Loch Ness and onwards to Inverness.
Day Three: Inverness to Edinburgh
It's our last day in the Highlands so we make the most of it with a scenic drive through the Black Isle to visit the quaint fishing village of Cromarty. We later stop at Chanonry Point to try to catch a glimpse of the dolphins in the Moray Firth before another break in the lovely town of Beauly.
Our drive through Glen Convinth brings us to the village of Drumnadrochit and for shopping opportunities at the popular Loch Ness Centre and Exhibition *.
We rejoin our motor coach a little later in the afternoon for a spectacular drive south through the Highlands. From the Spey Valley and the Cairngorm Mountains we travel through Glen Garry for scenic views of the Duke of Atholl's family seat at Blair Castle. After a brief stopover, we continue through gentle rolling countryside towards Perth then on to Edinburgh.
