3 Day - Skye, The Highlands & Loch Ness (Glasgow)

Take our three day Isle of Skye tour from Glasgow to explore the highlands and enjoy the natural beauty of one of Scotland’s favourite islands where you will spend two nights in the charming town of Portree.

Day 1

Departing Glasgow, our first stop on this Isle of Skye tour is at the picturesque conservation village of Luss, on the ‘Bonny, Bonny’ banks of Loch Lomond.

Travelling north via Tyndrum we pass over the atmospheric Rannoch Moor before enjoying time to walk and admire the dramatic Glencoe, site of the 1692 massacre of the MacDonald Clan.

After lunch in the Fort William area, we pause for photos at Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis, then stop to admire Glen Garry and the stunning Five Sisters of Kintail mountain range.

Day 1 of the Isle of Skye tour ends in the charming village of Portree, on the Isle of Skye, where we check into our accommodation.

Day 2

After breakfast our Isle of Skye tour will depart Portree for a full day’s touring Skye - options include a visit to Dunvegan Castle, or a trip toUig and a stop to visit Flora MacDonald’s grave and the unique Black Houses, historic dwellings of the Scottish Highlanders.

We continue our journey where we can view Duntulum Castle, take photos of Kilt Rock and perhaps enjoy a walk at the Lealt Falls.

Our 3 day Isle of Skye tour ends with the opportunity to admire the Old Man of Storr, before we return to Portree.

Day 3

We commence our descent via the much-admired Eilean Donan Castle*, backdrop for the movie ‘Highlander’ and 'Made of Honour (interior closed in winter), our Isle of Skye tour will then move on to the pretty lochside village of Fort Augustus for lunch and views of Loch Ness.

Our journey south continues over Laggan and the Grampianmountains with our last stop for refreshments, in the pretty Victorian resort town of Pitlochry, before returning to Edinburgh, where the Isle of Skye tour terminates.
