Tour itinerary

Day 1

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 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.

From Oban we make our way northwards to Fort William and then through the scenic beauty of the Great Glen. We will drive the entire
length of Loch Ness, so keep a careful watch, just in case! We’ll make a stop at Urquhart Castle which overlooks the loch and is a favourite
location with “Nessie” spotters. A short drive will take us to Inverness.

The stay in Inverness is unescorted.

Day 2

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 is not included—£12.00 payable locally.
