Day by day itinerary

  1. 1Glasgow – Glencoe - Eilean Donan Castle⌄

    We venture north through the splendid scenery of Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park up to the wild desolation of Rannoch Moor.

    You continue through the spectacular mountain pass of Glencoe, scene of the great massacre of the Clan Macdonald in 1692. And after lunch we pass Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, and head into the Great Glen. Travelling west you head past the Five Sisters of Kintail.

    An iconic and gorgeous 13th century castle that once warded off Viking invasions.

    Overnight: Overnight in Broadford/ *Portree

  2. 2Today is a flexible day on Skye. Your driver-guide will ensure you have the best day out no matter what the weather.⌄

    Great photo stop at this iconic rock formation. This sharp pinnacle of rock bursts out the land and can be seen for miles around.

    Picturesque observation point offering panoramic views of waterfalls, cliffs & sea.

    Set round its natural harbour and fringed by high ground and cliffs, the town is a popular tourists’ holiday destination and the harbour continues to be used by fishing boats as well as pleasure craft.

    Built on a rock in an idyllic loch side setting, Dunvegan is the oldest continuously inhabited castle in Scotland and has been the ancestral home of the Chiefs of Clan MacLeod for 800 years.

    Overnight: Overnight in Broadford/ *Portree

  3. 3Journey through the pine-clad region of Perthshire to Glasgow⌄

    You visit Loch Ness for lunch... but will you spot 'Nessie'?
