Departure Point

Take two leisurely days, travel in comfort in a small group and savour the delights of the Highlands with your guide; see rivers, lochs, and mountains, and experience plenty of rich Highland history - with an overnight stay in the Highland capital of Inverness.

Currently, typical costs of accommodation per person per night are from approximately £49+ for hotels, £28-£38 for B&B or guest house, and from £15-£17 for youth hostels. We reserve your accommodation for you.

Day 1

From Edinburgh we head west, to Glasgow, first stopping at the pretty conservation village of Luss, on the "Bonny, Bonny Banks" of Loch Lomond. We descend into the desolate expanse of Rannoch Moor, passing the Black Mount, to the dramatic valley of Glencoe, site of the 1692 massacre of the MacDonald Clan. Enjoy a leisurely walk before continuing north towards Fort William and Scotland's highest mountain, Ben Nevis.

After lunch in the Fort William area, we trace the 24 mile shoreline of Loch Ness, passing Urquhart Castle, then on to Inverness, capital of the Highlands, where we arrive early evening.

Day 2

Enjoy a flexible itinerary with your guide today. We may choose to visit the fascinating Culloden Battlefield, where the Jacobites and Bonnie Prince Charlie were defeated by the Duke of Cumberland, and glimpse the ancient stones of the Neolithic Clava Clairns, before the opportunity for a visit and whisky tasting at Tomatin Distillery.

After a lunch stop in the ski resort area of Aviemore we move south to get a glimpse for a visit to the old military garrison of Ruthven Barracks, built by General Wade. We start our return journey via The Hermitage, stopping for a gentle forest walk before crossing the Forth Bridges back to Edinburgh.

Please note: On tours where the coach has no pick- ups from Glasgow, the route on Day 1 will travel via Stirling.
