from Edinburgh and
Glasgow This two
day tour will let you explore one of
Scotland’s most popular cities at your
own pace; go monster spotting by Loch
Ness and see some spectacular scenery.
This is a wonderful introduction to
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 enjoyable
excursion by open-top bus through the
Black Isle to the picturesque village of
Cromarty. Later we will spend some time
dolphin spotting by the Moray Firth
before crossing the Kessock Bridge and
making our way back to Inverness.
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.
Saturday, Monday, Tuesday & Thursday
departures between 27 March to 14 May
and 2 to 30 October will feature an
excursion to the Culloden Moor
battlefield instead of Cromarty.
