From Inverness: Highlands and Eilean Donan Castle Day Trip

Explore the Highlands on a day trip from Inverness. Visit the Beinn Eighe Nature Reserve, see the Torridon mountains, and stop at Eilean Donan Castle.
Leave Inverness and head north over the Beauly Firth towards the dramatic landscapes of the northern Highlands. Stop for views and photos before arriving at the exceptionally beautiful viewpoint for Loch Maree.

Head down towards the loch to Beinn Eighe Nature Reserve Visitor Centre for a short break. From here, take the single-track road through one of Scotland’s National Nature Reserves. Your driver-guide tells you about the woodland regeneration in the area and gives you a chance to get a view over the area and enjoy a close look at the native pine trees.

Travel through the imperious landscape and dramatic geology of the Torridon mountains. As you reach the west coast, the road ascends and gives you incredible views across the Torridon Range, down over the loch, and out to sea.

In the scenically situated town of Shieldaig, have a refreshment before taking on one of the most beautifully twisting roads in Scotland. This road may be the most photographed road on the famous North Coast 500 route.

In Applecross, there’s plenty of time for a relaxing lunch and maybe a little walk along the waterfront. Take the shorter but even more dramatic road out of Applecross, the famous Bealach na Bà (Pass of the Cattle), and if the weather allows, stop for viewpoints at the top and bottom of this dramatic road.

At Loch Duich, find Eilean Donan Castle, situated on a small island accessed by bridge. Visit the castle or simply enjoy the view from the visitor center, which has a café, shop, and toilets.

The journey back to Inverness passes the Five Sisters of Kintail Mountain range, historic Glenshiel, Loch Ness, and the Great Glen. Arrive in Inverness in the early evening.
