Beskrivning

Explore the Scottish Highlands on a day trip from Edinburgh, Glasgow or St Andrews. Visit Glencoe, Loch Ness, and the Cairngorms National Park, and see the Kelpies, Stirling Castle, and more.
Begin your journey by heading to The Kelpies, the world’s largest equine sculptures. Towering 30 meters high, these gleaming steel horse heads celebrate the strength and spirit of Scotland’s working horses and its mythical folklore.

Continue westward and pass by one of Scotland’s grandest castles, Stirling Castle. Perched high on a volcanic crag, this castle has long been regarded as the key to the kingdom.

As the road winds into Glencoe, be greeted by the hauntingly beautiful landscape as your guide shares the tragic tale of the Glencoe Massacre, a chapter of Scottish history as stirring as the scenery itself. Continuing along the West Highland Way, take in the tranquil views of Loch Tulla and the many scenic viewpoints the valley has to offer of the surrounding mountains.

Arrive at Fort William, a historic town nestled at the foot of Ben Nevis. Pause to enjoy the scenery and town before continuing along Loch Lochy, arriving at Fort Augustus, the gateway to Loch Ness. Here, you may choose to enjoy a serene cruise along the Loch for views of Urquhart Castle or visit some Highland Cows at a local farm for the rare chance to meet Scotland’s most beloved creatures (subject to availability).

Next, journey into the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, a region of untouched beauty, ancient forests, and glassy lochs. As you travel in comfort through this Highland heartland, your driver-guide will share stories of the land and its lore. Arrive in the alpine-inspired town of Aviemore where you can enjoy a moment to explore the town before continuing your final drive home.
