Day 1: Mountains, Massacres, and Monsters

This spectacular Highlands tour begins with a journey west through the beautiful scenery of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. The route then takes you through the haunting landscape of Glen Coe, the scene of the terrible massacre of the MacDonald Clan and then on through Fort William and the great Glen to arrive at the fabled shores of Loch Ness.

Day 2: North to Lewis and Harris

Depart Inverness and travel through some of the country’s most beautiful and remote Highland scenery on the way to the coast. Arrive in the charming seaside town of Ullapool, known as one of the main gateways to the Northern Highlands. Surrounded by mountains and sea, Ullapool is celebrated for its unspoiled natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere. From here, board the ferry to the Outer Hebrides, with time to enjoy lunch on board as you sail past the Summer Isles, keeping an eye out for seabirds and marine life. Once on the island, begin your Isle of Lewis and Harris experience with a visit to a traditional Blackhouse—a fully furnished, thatched stone home offering insight into historic island life and culture. Your day concludes in Stornoway, the largest town in the Western Isles. Enjoy the evening at leisure in this welcoming harbour town.
