Details

Make your way to the central Edinburgh meeting point. Board your coach and settle in for the journey north. Have a brief stop in Callander before journeying into the Highlands through Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Your next stop is in haunting Glencoe, filled with dramatic scenery and history. Your guide fills you in on Glencoe’s stories before you continue north, passing Fort William and Ben Nevis on the way.

Next, visit Fort Augustus on the southern shores of Loch Ness. Take a cruise on the loch (additional cost) in search of the elusive monster or explore the village and wander along its canal. Make a stop at the Commando Memorial, which honors British war heroes and overlooks the Nevis range, before heading back south through Cairngorms National Park.

There’s time for a final stop in the charming village of Pitlochry before returning to Edinburgh with spectacular views of the Forth Bridge to round off the tour.
