2 Day Inverness & Loch Ness Coach Tour depart Edinburgh

Day One

Departing from Edinburgh we make our way to lonely Rannoch Moor and into Glen Coe, Scotland’s most famous glen and the scene of the terrible massacre in 1692. We will make a stop in the midst of this awe-inspiring scenery where you can enjoy the magic of this special place. From Fort William the striking scenery of the Great Glen unfolds ahead of us – first Loch Lochy, then Loch Oich and finally Loch Ness. We will tour through the attractive village of Fort Augustus then drive the entire length of Loch Ness. We will make a stop at Urquhart Castle, where you can visit the Castle and take a cruise on the loch. Shortly we will arrive in Inverness, our home for tonight.

Day Two

This morning we have an enjoyable excursion by open-top bus through the Black Isle to the picturesque village of Cromarty.

Later we will spend some time dolphin spotting by the Moray Firth before crossing the Kessock Bridge and making our way back to Inverness.
Later there is free time in Inverness for shopping or sightseeing. As we depart Inverness we make our way through the gentle Spey Valleythen on through stunning scenery as we drive over the Drumochter Pass. Keep a close watch for the deer that often come down to the roadside to graze. There are wonderful views of majestic Blair Castle before we make a stop for afternoon tea in the heart of the Perthshire countryside. From Perth make our way homewards to journey’s end in Edinburgh.

OPTIONAL EXTRAS: Urquhart Castle and Loch Ness cruise ticket.
