Day 1
Your Scottish Highlands & Glencoe Day Trip Begins
Your adventure commences with a personal pick-up from your accommodation in Edinburgh or Glasgow. Enjoy the exclusivity of travelling with just your group, ensuring a more intimate and flexible experience. Unlike large tour buses, our private tour allows you to have a say in how long you spend at each stop, making your Glencoe and Loch Ness trip uniquely yours.
As we leave the bustling city streets, you’ll catch glimpses of historic landmarks like Edinburgh Castle and the beautiful Pentland Hills. Heading north, we make our first stop for refreshments at Callander, the gateway to the Highlands. Here, you can stretch your legs and savour the local atmosphere before we continue to Kilmahog, where you’ll meet and feed the friendly Highland Cows (or ‘coos’) – an experience that brings you closer to Scotland’s rural charm.
The tour then takes you through the dramatic landscapes of Glencoe, famous for its connection to the James Bond film, Skyfall, and scenes from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Pause for photos and immerse yourself in the rich history of Glencoe, including the tragic massacre of the MacDonald clan in 1692. You’ll also have the opportunity to visit a historic Highlander’s house dating back to the 16th century.
Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife as we make our way to Fort William for lunch. Afterwards, we stop at Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK, for some spectacular photo opportunities. Our journey continues to the renowned Glenfinnan Viaduct, also known as the Harry Potter bridge, before we settle for the night on the outskirts of the Isle of Skye, ready to rest and recharge for another day of exploration.
Day 2
The Hunt for Nessie: Your Loch Ness Day Trip
Wake up to the stunning sight of Loch Ness, Scotland’s most famous loch. Spend the morning exploring its mysterious waters, hunting ‘Nessie’ the Loch Ness monster, and discovering the ruins of Urquhart Castle, perched on its shores. After soaking in the history and legend of Loch Ness, we journey to Culloden Battlefield. Here, you’ll walk on the grounds of the last battle fought on British soil, learning about the fatal clash where 700 Highland clansmen perished in mere minutes.
Next, we visit the ancient Clava Cairns, a site of 4,000-year-old stone circles. Touching these ancient stones is a rare opportunity to connect with Scotland’s distant past. Our Loch Ness and Highlands tour then takes us through the breathtaking Cairngorms National Park, with a stop in the lively town of Pitlochry for a taste of local culture and charm.
Our final highlight is The Kelpies, two monumental 32-metre-high horse head sculptures that capture the imagination and spirit of Scotland’s industrial heritage. After this awe-inspiring visit, relax as we transport you back to your accommodation in Edinburgh or Glasgow, bringing your unforgettable Scottish adventure to a close.
