Scottish Highlands Tour

© Sandgrouse Travel & Expeditions

Scottish Highlands

EDINBURGH & THE HIGHLANDS

10 NIGHTS 11 DAYS, LUXURY EDINBURGH, THE BALMORAL HOTEL, CASTLES, SPEYSIDE & THE HIGHLANDS WITH A LAND ROVER DISCOVERY

Staying in a one of the most well known hotels, The Balmoral Hotel in central Edinburgh, you will be able to fully enjoy four complete days in Scotland's historic and cosmopolitan capital city. Edinburgh offers so much to the visitor and this itinerary provides clients with a genuine chance to enjoy the city and all on offer.

Midway through your trip on checking-out of The Balmoral Hotel, you will collect your luxury Land Rover Discovery hire car which will be delivered right to the hotel front door. Here you will take to the road and leave behind the hustle and bustle of the capital city. Drive north towards the Scottish Highlands via the Forth bridges. 

You will be spending the next five days at the wonderful Boath House located in Nairn. From here strike out and enjoy the heart of Speyside, famous the world over for it's whisky production. Explore the Cairngorm National Park's stunning mountain scenery, wildlife and hospitality. Pushing north of Inverness we recommend visiting the likes of Dunrobin Castle. Why not take a long and lonely self-drive safari down Glen Cannich in search of Red deer and majestic Scottish views. 

On leaving the romantic Scottish Highlands, return to Edinburgh for one final night at The Balmoral before your departure.
