We leave Scotlands capital behind at 8. 30 am and cross the Forth Road Bridge on our way through Macbeth country to Dunkeld with its mighty Cathedral. We stop at a Highland whisky distillery where you can discover how Scotlands favourite tipple, the Water of Life is made. For those brave enough, there even the opportunity to taste a wee dram. Journeying on through Inverses, the capital of the Highlands, we follow the entire length of Loch Ness searching for a glimpse of the legendary beast.
Day 2 : Scotland
Today we travel to the Isle of Skye, also known as the Isle of Mist and at the top of the bucket list due to its heart stopping scenery. This wee island is packed with ruined castles, breathtaking views and faerie stories. Home to the legendary MacLeod and MacDonald Clans, your Guide will recount Celtic myths and Viking legends from the past millennia. We explore the windswept landscape, stunning coastline and dramatic mountain ranges before returning back to the mainland past the most photographed castle in Scotland, Eilean Donan Castle.
Day 3 : Scotland
Leaving the Great Glen, we pass under the shadow of Ben Nevis, Britains highest mountain. Our route south takes us through the stunning rugged landscape of Glencoe, Journey through one of the last remaining wildernesses in Europe when we cross the Rannoch Moor, a vast stretch of land that will show you yet again another side of Scotland. We head past Stirling, the scene of some of Scotland most famous and bloody battles in the Wars of Independence. Hear of local legends such as William Wallace and Robert the Bruce before the Highlands change back to the Lowlands.
