Description

Experience the magic of Scotland’s legendary Highlands on a full-day journey from Edinburgh, exploring dramatic landscapes, ancient castles, and captivating local history. This tour is ideal for travelers eager to see the best of the Highlands in a single, comfortable day with a knowledgeable, passionate guide.

Your adventure begins as you leave Edinburgh, passing the iconic Stirling Castle and winding through the wild beauty of Trossachs National Park. Marvel at the haunting scenery of Glen Coe, where the echoes of Scotland’s storied past linger among rugged mountains and sweeping moorlands.

The route continues through Fort William, beneath the shadow of Ben Nevis, before arriving at Fort Augustus on the shores of the mysterious Loch Ness. Here, you can choose to embark on a boat cruise equipped with advanced sonar—perfect for Nessie hunters—or simply stroll along the Caledonian Canal and soak up Highland village charm.

Afterwards, travel south through the Cairngorms National Park and the picturesque landscapes of Perthshire, enjoying views of lochs, forests, and rivers. The return journey crosses the Firth of Forth, offering a final glimpse of Scotland’s iconic bridges before you arrive back in Edinburgh in the evening.

This 12-hour tour includes transportation, a friendly local guide, and the option to add a Loch Ness cruise. Audio guides are available in several languages. Secure your spot now and discover the unforgettable beauty of the Scottish Highlands—spaces fill quickly!
