From Edinburgh and
Glasgow
This very special three-day tour
combines a relaxing two night stay in
Inverness and will show you some of
Scotland’s finest scenery, including a
wonderful full-day excursion to the
fabled Isle of Skye!
Day One
Departing from Edinburgh or Glasgow we
make our way to lonely Rannoch Moor and
into Glen Coe, Scotland’s most famous
glen and the scene of the terrible
massacre in 1692. We 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 us –
first Loch Lochy, then Loch Oich and
finally Loch Ness. We will travel to the
attractive village of Fort Augustus then
drive the entire length of Loch Ness. We
will stop at Urquhart Castle where you
can visit the castle and enjoy a cruise
on the loch (optional). Shortly we will
arrive in Inverness, our home for the
next two nights.
The stay in Inverness is unescorted.

Day Two
Today we enjoy the highlight of our tour
- a full day excursion to the beautiful
island of Skye. We’ll make a stop at
Eilean Donan Castle, perched on its
island at the head of Loch Duich. You
will marvel at the views when we stop at
this most picturesque of castles. Soon
we’ll be crossing “over the sea to Skye”
and driving in the shadow of the
towering Cuillin Hills to Portree, a
picturesque fishing port which is the
island’s main town. After free time we
will return to the mainland and meander
our way back to Inverness.
Day Three
This morning there is an excursion
through the Black Isle to the
picturesque village of Cromarty. Later
there is free time in Inverness for
individual sightseeing or shopping
before we join our motor coach for a
spectacular drive south through the
Highlands. From the Spey Valley and the
Cairngorm Mountains we travel through
Glen Garry to enjoy scenic views of
picturesque Blair Castle. After a break
we’ll make our way through the gentle
rolling countryside towards Perth then
onwards to Edinburgh or Glasgow.
