Departure Point
Three days to enjoy stunning natural beauty, unforgettable sunsets, rich history, the majestic Cuillin mountains and the dramatic Trotternish peninsula.
We leave Glasgow and head west, 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 Glencoe, made famous by the 1692 massacre of the MacDonald Clan. Enjoy a leisurely walk here before continuing north towards Fort William and Scotland's highest mountain, Ben Nevis. We continue our journey, crossing the Skye Bridge to arrive on the Isle of Skye and our destination, Portree, early evening.
After breakfast today, explore the island with your guide. We may visit the famous Cuillins mountains or the bizarre rock formations of the Old Man of Storr, Quiraing or Kilt Rock. We can try out some whisky at Talisker Distillery or further west, visit Dunvegan Castle - home to the Clan MacLeod and the oldest inhabited castle in Britain - before we return to Portree for a free evening to explore.
Heading homewards,enjoy a visit to the stunning Eilean Donan Castle*, featured in the movie 'Highlander', then stop for lunch in Fort Augustus, with its spectacular views of Loch Ness. Continuing south, we pass through the Grampian mountains, Loch Laggan and Dalwhinnie - Scotland's highest whisky distillery - then on past Blair Castle.
We stop for refreshments in the Victorian resort town of Pitlochry before our return to Edinburgh.
If continuing to Glasgow, your guide will take you to Waverley Station for the 50-minute journey by train, courtesy of Timberbush.
