The Loch Ness Monster - fact or fiction?
Find out on this splendid tour through
the glorious Scottish Highlands.
Our journey northwards takes us through
Rob Roy MacGregor country to desolate
Rannoch Moor. We’ll travel through
haunting Glen Coe, the "Glen of
Weeping". In 1692 40 of the resident
MacDonald clan were massacred in cold
blood by the Campbells for not
forswearing the Jacobite cause. It is
said that you can still hear their
cries! We’ll make a stop in this
awe-inspiring place so that you can
marvel at the natural beauty of the glen
for yourself.
Next we travel to Fort William, which
sits in the shadow of Ben Nevis -
Britain's tallest mountain. A real
highlight is our drive through the Great
Glen which is also the route taken by
the Caledonian Canal. We will criss-cross
the canal several times as we make our
way to Inverness. The Great Glen
contains three lochs which will offer us
spectacular vistas. Firstly Loch Lochy
then Loch Oich and lastly Loch Ness. The
pretty little village of Fort Augustus
is our gateway to Scotland's largest and
most famous loch. We will tour the
entire length of Loch Ness, stopping at
Urquhart Castle for a photograph. Here
you can visit the Castle and enjoy a
cruise on the loch - could that shadow
be the monster?
Shortly we will arrive in Inverness. We
will make a further stop so that you can
discover the Capital of the Highlands
for yourself. Later we will start our
journey southwards through the Spey
Valley then on to the dramatic scenery
of Glen Garry. We’ll make a brief stop
in the delightful Victorian resort of
Pitlochry before we head for Perth then
Edinburgh or Glasgow.
