Description

Discover the best of Scotland on this unforgettable day tour from Edinburgh to Loch Ness, Glencoe, and the breathtaking Scottish Highlands. Settle into a comfortable air-conditioned coach and enjoy lively commentary and traditional music from your guide as you journey north, immersing yourself in the rich culture and history of Scotland.

The adventure begins with a stop in Callander, where you can enjoy a morning coffee and, depending on the season, meet some of the region’s famous Highland cows. As you continue deeper into the Highlands, you’ll pause at scenic Glencoe for a photo opportunity and captivating stories about the historic Clan massacres, all set to evocative Highland tunes.

Your journey takes you to Fort William, where you’ll have time to enjoy lunch and perhaps receive a fun introduction to the mysteries of the Scottish kilt. The afternoon brings you to the legendary Loch Ness, where you can customize your experience: explore Urquhart Castle, take a boat cruise in search of “Nessie,” or relax with an optional whisky tasting experience.

If you prefer to stay on land, embark on the picturesque Old Coffin Road Walk that starts at the hotel car park, or opt for a one-hour cruise along Loch Ness with stunning castle views. As you head back to Edinburgh, the tour includes a brief snack stop in charming Pitlochry before returning to the city center in the evening.

This full-day guided tour includes transportation and expert commentary, with optional extras available for activities at Loch Ness. Don’t miss your chance to experience the magic and mystery of the Scottish Highlands. Check availability and book your spot now for an adventure you’ll never forget!
