DAY 1
We head North from GLASGOW making a stop first on the banks of LOCH LOMOND, on our way to the HIGHLANDS, over RANNOCH MOOR and the BLACK MOUNT, on to GLENCOE. You can walk in GLENCOE - a valley both famous and infamous for its bloody history - as we head towards FORT WILLIAM, nestling beneath Scotland's tallest mountain, BEN NEVIS.
Walking in GLEN NEVIS you will soon realise why this amazingly beautiful and green place has been used as the site of such movies as 'BRAVEHEART', 'ROB ROY' and 'HIGHLANDER'. You then have an evening to spend in FORT WILLIAM as you please.
DAY 2
Today is an adventure in the North West - up the GREAT GLEN and then along the 'ROAD TO THE ISLES'. West towards the mountains of KNOYDART, taking a narrow pass through KINTAIL, passing the famous 'FIVE SISTERS' mountains to the famous EILEAN DONAN CASTLE, with the mountains of the island of SKYE in the distance - something you will never forget!
We then travel on to mysterious LOCH NESS; FORT AUGUSTUS with its impressive flight of locks; SPEAN BRIDGE, LOCH LAGGAN and the 900 foot LAGGAN DAM, begun in the 1920s and only finally finished in 1943!
We will pass through DALWHINNIE, where LOCH ERICHT meets GLEN TRUIM, and home of Scotland's highest malt whisky distillery before heading south. We will also be able to admire BLAIR CASTLE on our return journey.
