Itinerary
Day 1: Edinburgh to Loch Ness
You leave Scotland's capital and head to Stirling, home to legends such as William Wallace and Robert the Bruce and scene of many of Scotland’s most famous and bloody battles. The route north takes you through the dramatic and inspiring Glencoe and if weather permits, you may well take one of Haggis legendary ‘wee walks’, before heading for Fort William - in the shadow of mighty Ben Nevis (Britain’s highest mountain). Travelling through the Great Glen we head for Fort Augustus. Staying on the banks of Loch Ness, tonight you discover a bit more of Highland history and culture, before trying to entice Nessie out for a wee dram!
Day 2: Loch Ness to Isle of Skye
Today you explore the magical Isle of Skye. Ruined castles, awesome scenery, Viking fortresses and home to the legendary MacLeod and MacDonald Clans. Immersed in Celtic myths and legends, hear all about the Faeries and the Selkies, and local characters who have contributed to the rich history of this magical island. Your overnight destination is at a legendary 4 star hostel Morag's Lodge on the banks of Loch Ness with the best showers in the Highlands!
Day 3: Loch Ness to Edinburgh
Before heading south en route for Edinburgh, you follow the entire length of Loch Ness, searching for a priceless glimpse of the legendary beast. You pass through Inverness, capital of the Highlands, and head for brooding Culloden Moor, sight of the defeat of Bonne Prince Charlie’s Jacobite uprising. After a bite to eat and perhaps another ‘wee walk’, you head south past Pitlochry, Dunkeld and Perth (amongst other things) before arriving back in Edinburgh at approximately 5.30pm. – An action packed fun filled and unforgettable 3 days!
