The Itinerary


Day One
From Edinburgh we will make our way via Stirling to the beauty of Glen Coe. There is a stop in Fort William before driving through the Great Glen to Loch Ness, where we visit Urquhart Castle, for some monster spotting. We will be based in Inverness, the capital of the Highlands for the next three nights.

Day Two
Today we enjoy a full day excursion to the beautiful island of Skye by mini-coach. We'll visit Eilean Donan Castle, perched on its island at the head of Loch Duich. You will marvel at the views of Skye from the ramparts when we visit this most picturesque of castles. Soon we'll be crossing 'over the sea to Skye' and visiting the beautiful gardens of the Clan Donald Centre before enjoying the dramatic scenery of the famed Cuillin Mountains. Later we will have time for some beach combing before returning to Inverness.

Day Three
A day of nature and scenic beauty today as we travel to John O'Groats and the far north. The emphasis is very much on nature and we hope to see red deer, seals, puffins (until early August) and hairy Highland cows along the way. Our tour takes us to Golspie then through the lands of the Duke of Sutherland - when you'll hear all about the notorious Highland Clearances. We will pass many stone-age sites before arriving in John O'Groats. There are several stops along the way to enjoy the dramatic cliff scenery of the northern coastline before returning to Inverness.

Day Four
This morning there is an excursion to Culloden Moor followed by free time in Inverness. Later this afternoon join your motorcoach for our tour south. Our route will take us to the gentle Spey Valley with views of the Cairngorm Mountains then through the dramatic scenery of the Drumochter Pass. There's a stop in the popular Victorian town of Pitlochry, nestling on the banks of the River Tummel. You'll soon see why this town was a favourite with Queen Victoria. The rolling Tayside countryside will guide us to Perth then we head homewards to journey's end in Edinburgh.

On Monday, Wednesday and Saturday departures days 2 and 3 will be reversed.
