Itinerary

  1. 1

    Rannoch Moor

    Pass by

    A haven for wildlife this remote expanse of around 50 square miles is truly spectacular. Enjoy breathtaking views as we drive through this other worldly landscape.

  2. 2

    Glencoe

    1.5 hours

    The towering mountains of Glencoe are a sight to behold. But behind the beauty lies tragedy. The Massacre of Glencoe in 1692 is forever remembered as one of the most despicable acts of betrayal in Scottish history. The beauty and the history combine to make the atmosphere of this place something special.

  3. 3

    Great Glen Way

    1.5 hours

    Running for 62 miles this Glen runs from Fort William all the way to Inverness following a geological fault.

  4. 4

    Caledonian Canal

    2 hours

    Running for the length of the Great Glen is the Caledonian canal. A most impressive feat of engineering the canal includes Neptune’s Staircase, the longest staircase lock in the UK. We will stop at Fort Augustus which the canal runs through and sits on the shores of Loch Ness. A great place to stop for lunch and enjoy fantastic views of the loch.

  5. 5

    Fort Augustus

    1.5 hours

    Fort Augustus sits on the shores of Loch Ness. A great place to stop for lunch and enjoy fantastic views of the loch.

  6. 6

    Loch Ness

    3 hours

    At 23 miles long this is the largest body of water by volume in Great Britain. Plenty of space for mysterious creatures to lurk. Be sure to take lots of photos of this spectacular place.

  7. 7

    Pitlochry

    1 hour

    This largely Victorian town has always been a favorite destination for tourists. You will see why as you walk down the pretty high street.
