Day One
Departing from Edinburgh or Glasgow you will make your way to lonely Rannoch Moor and into Glen Coe, Scotland’s most famous glen and the scene of the terrible massacre in 1692. You will make a stop in the midst of this awe-inspiring scenery where you can enjoy the magic of this special place.
From Fort William the striking scenery of the Great Glen unfolds ahead of you – first Loch Lochy, then Loch Oich and finally Loch Ness. Tour through the attractive village of Fort Augustus then drive the entire length of Loch Ness. Your next stop is Urquhart Castle, where you can visit the Castle and take a cruise on the loch. Shortly after you will arrive in Inverness, your home for the night.
The stay in Inverness is unescorted.
Day Two
This morning you have an excursion to Beauly and Muir of Ord, where you can visit the local malt whisky distillery. You will also have the opportunity of undertaking some dolphin-spotting as you make your way back to Inverness.
Later there is free time in Inverness for shopping or sightseeing. As you depart Inverness you will make your way through the gentle Spey Valley then on through stunning scenery over the Drumochter Pass. Keep a close watch for the deer that often come down to the roadside to graze. You will make a brief stop in the popular Victorian resort of Pitlochry, nestling on the banks of the River Tummel. From Perth make your way homewards to journey’s end in Edinburgh or Glasgow.
Admission to Urquhart Castle and cruise is not included—payable locally.
