Edinburgh: 3-Day Isle of Skye, Loch Ness & Fairy Pools Tour

Discover the beauty of the Scottish Highlands on a 3-day tour from Edinburgh. Visit Skye, Fairy Pools, Loch Ness, and the Highlands, and see the Kelpies, the world’s largest equine sculptures.
Depart Edinburgh in the morning and cross the Forth Road Bridge on your way to picturesque Dunkeld with its historic cathedral. Make time for a walk through a stretch of magical Perthshire forest at The Hermitage before heading to the Highland village of Pitlochry for lunch.

Next, learn the fascinating story that inspired Outlander at Culloden Battlefield and embark on your own journey through the stones at Clava Cairns. Continue through Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, and follow the entire length of Loch Ness before arriving at Morag’s Lodge in Fort Augustus, your home for the next two nights.

In the evening, you have the option of exploring the loch with an evening cruise, relaxing by the shores, or visiting a local pub for a hot drink or something stronger.

The next day, start by winding through misty glens and peaks as you make your way to Scotland’s west coast. After a photo stop at the Eilean Donan Castle – easily one of the most photographed castles in the country – head onwards to the Isle of Skye.

Skye has earned its place on countless travel wish lists and it’s easy to see why. Home to castles, cliffs, and landscapes straight out of a fairytale, the island is steeped in fascinating stories ranging from ancient Celtic myths to Viking sagas – which your guide will bring to life as you explore.

Take in jaw-dropping sights like the jagged Cuillin Mountains as you venture further to visit the Fairy Pools, a famous series of pools filled with turquoise water. After a full day of exploring Skye’s scenery and history, make your way back to Loch Ness for the night.

Bid farewell to Loch Ness and travel through the Great Glen, pausing at the Commando Memorial beneath the shadow of Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain. Your journey takes you south through the awe-inspiring valley of Glen Coe, one of Scotland’s iconic landmarks of history, wildlife, and myth.

Drive through one of the last remaining wildernesses in Europe when you cross the Rannoch Moor, a vast stretch of land that will reveal a little more of Scotland’s diverse terrain. Make time for a comfort break in the small village of Tyndrum before you travel further south for a final stop at the majestic Kelpies, the world’s largest equine sculptures, designed by Scottish sculptor Andy Scott. After a fabulous three-day Isle of Skye tour, arrive back to Edinburgh in the early evening.
