Begin your Scottish adventure aboard a comfortable air-conditioned coach and journey north from Edinburgh into the heart of Scotland’s central belt. As you pass the historic Stirling Castle, your guide will share captivating tales of national heroes like William Wallace and Robert the Bruce.
Your first stop is the charming town of Callander, known as the Gateway to the Highlands. Nestled at the foot of the Trossachs, it’s the perfect place to enjoy refreshments, browse local shops, and take in stunning views of the surrounding hills.
Continue through the scenic landscapes of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, where your guide brings Scottish history and folklore to life. Follow in the cinematic footsteps of James Bond in Skyfall and Harry Potter in The Prisoner of Azkaban as you journey toward the dramatic valley of Glencoe, a place steeped in both beauty and tragedy, marked by the infamous Clan MacDonald massacre of 1692.
Travel onward through Fort William, home to the mighty Ben Nevis, the highest peak in the British Isles, before reaching the tranquil village of Fort Augustus on the banks of Loch Ness. Enjoy a leisurely lunch, wander along the Caledonian Canal, or take an optional one-hour cruise on Loch Ness — keep your eyes peeled for the elusive Nessie.
Afterward, visit the Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge and take in breathtaking views of the Nevis Range. Enter the majestic Cairngorms National Park, pass by serene Loch Laggan, and traverse the dramatic Pass of Drumochter, carved by ancient glaciers.
Conclude your day with a short stop in the picturesque Victorian town of Pitlochry (or Bankfoot), before returning to Edinburgh in the evening, filled with memories of Scotland’s wild beauty and rich heritage.
