From Edinburgh and
Glasgow
The stunning beauty of Glen Affric is
the highlight of this enchanting two day
journey that will take you to Glen Coe,
the Great Glen, Loch Ness and the Spey
Valley. Sit back, relax and let us show
you the best scenery in Scotland!
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 tour through the attractive village
of Fort Augustus then drive the entire
length of Loch Ness. We will make a stop
at Urquhart Castle, where you can visit
the Castle and take a cruise on the loch
(optional). Shortly we will arrive in
Inverness, our home for tonight.
The stay in Inverness is unescorted.

Day Two
This morning we have an wonderful
excursion to Glen Affric, considered by
many to be Scotland’s most picturesque
glen. This dramatic and beautiful gorge
contains the gushing River Affric and is
the quintessential Highland Glen
complete with mountains and moorland.
Glen Affric is home to one of the
largest remnants of the ancient
Caledonian pine forest left in Scotland.
We’ll make an extended stop here so you
can enjoy a walk or simply relax in
these spectacular surroundings.
Later there is free time in Inverness
for shopping or sightseeing. As we
depart Inverness we make our way through
the gentle Spey Valley then on through
stunning scenery as we drive over the
Drumochter Pass. Keep a close watch for
the deer that often come down to the
roadside to graze. There are wonderful
views of majestic Blair Castle before we
make a stop for afternoon tea in the
heart of the Perthshire countryside.
From Perth make our way homewards to
journey’s end in Edinburgh or Glasgow.
