Tour Information

Day 1 Departing Edinburgh we travel north over the Firth of Forth towards the Highlands of Scotland where we stop at the historic village of Dunkeld to enjoy its beautiful setting. As we drive towards the Cairngorm National Park we visit Aviemore, the village at the heart of the Cairngorms for a late lunch. The afternoon takes us towards the mysterious Loch Ness which is overlooked by the ancient ruins of Urquhart Castle. After exploring Urquhart Castle we depart for our evening and overnight stop in Inverness, the “Capital of the Highlands”.

Day 2 Before departing Inverness we visit the Culloden exhibition and battlefield where the supporters of Bonnie Prince Charlie fought their last battle in 1746. We then head towards Glen Moriston on the way to Glen Shiel and the Five Sisters of Kintail mountain range. The magnificent Loch Duich awaits us where we see the stunning Eilean Donan Castle in the distance. After time to enjoy a tour of Eilean Donan Castle, we take the bridge to Skye, where the spectacular Cuillin mountain range greets us. After making our way up through Skye we spend the late afternoon exploring the Trotternish Peninsula - an area of stunning landscapes and home to the Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock and the Quiraing. It is then a short drive back to scenic village and harbour of Portree for our overnight stop.
