A 2-day Highland tour from Edinburgh with a small group. See the Glenfinnan Viaduct, Loch Ness and Glencoe, with a night in Fort William beneath Ben Nevis.

Stay a little longer and see another side of the Highlands. On this two-day Loch Ness tour from Edinburgh, you’ll walk through The Hermitage, stop for an optional Highland dram and spend time beside Loch Ness before settling into Fort William for the night, beneath Ben Nevis.

The next morning brings Glenfinnan, where the famous Harry Potter viaduct curves through the mountains above Loch Shiel. Continue into Glencoe for dramatic scenery and clan history, then travel through Loch Lomond & The Trossachs towards Stirling Castle and its royal stories. There’s the option of a Loch Ness cruise along the way, too. With short walks, scenic stops and an expert guide, these two days give you more time to get to know the Highlands beyond their best-known views.
