Enjoy some of Scotland’s most beautiful
lochs, glens and mountains as we tour
through the Loch Lomond & Trossachs
National Park to visit the attractive
town of Oban, in the heart of the
beautiful Western Highlands.
Our journey takes us northwards through
the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National
Park with it’s lochs and mountains and
into the Highlands. After a short break
in the little village of Luss, on the
banks of Loch Lomond our scenic drive
continues through Glen Lochy to romantic
Kilchurn Castle, which stands guard at
the head of Loch Awe. For years Loch Awe
was a natural protection for the
Campbells of Inveraray against their
enemies from the North.
Oban is a picturesque fishing port set
on the Firth of Lorn. We have plenty of
time to discover this bustling town and
enjoy the views towards the Island of
Kerrera and the Inner Hebrides beyond.
The 3rd Duke of Argyll built the “new”
town of Inveraray between 1746 and 1780
at the head of Loch Fyne. The town sits
in the shadow of his castle and, as we
will discover, this pleasant town
retains much of its 18th Century charm.
Our journey continues by way of Loch
Long then over the dramatic “Rest and be
Thankful” mountain pass to the gentle
scenery of the “bonnie, bonnie banks” of
Loch Lomond. Our enjoyable drive will
afford wonderful views of Loch Lomond
before we make our way to Glasgow and
then Edinburgh.
