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 really is essential
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 in 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. Shortly we will arrive in
Inverness, our home for tonight.
The stay in
Inverness is unescorted.
Day Two
This morning we have an excursion to
Culloden Moor, where Bonnie Prince
Charlie’s Jacobite Army was routed by
Government troops under the command of
“Butcher” Cumberland. This bloody battle
was the last ever fought on British
soil.
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. We will make a brief
stop in the popular Victorian resort of
Pitlochry, nestling on the banks of the
River Tummel. From Perth make our way
homewards to journey's end in Edinburgh
or Glasgow.
Admission to
Urquhart Castle and cruise are not
