Day 1 – Discover the Highlands

Depending on your pickup location, we’ll travel north through some of Scotland’s most beautiful landscapes, with opportunities to visit charming Highland towns, peaceful woodland walks and important historic sites. Stops may include Pitlochry, The Hermitage woodland walk, Culloden Battlefield and the ancient Clava Cairns, famous for their prehistoric standing stones and burial chambers.

We’ll finish the day in Inverness, where you’ll stay for two nights.

Day 2 – The Isle of Skye

Get ready for a full day exploring the breathtaking Isle of Skye. This is a longer day, typically around 11–12 hours, but the spectacular scenery makes it well worth the journey.

Discover dramatic mountains, rugged coastlines, picturesque villages and some of Scotland’s most iconic landscapes. Depending on conditions and the time available, we’ll visit highlights around the island, with opportunities for photographs, scenic stops and short walks. We’ll return to Inverness in the evening for your second night.

Our final day takes us through more of Scotland’s unforgettable scenery. We’ll visit the legendary Loch Ness before continuing towards Fort William and the magnificent Glenfinnan Viaduct, made famous by its appearance in the Harry Potter films.

We’ll then travel through the awe-inspiring landscapes of Glencoe, surrounded by towering mountains and steep-sided glens. Depending on your drop-off location and the route, we may also visit Loch Lomond or the famous Kelpies sculptures, with an opportunity to see some of Scotland’s iconic Highland cows along the way.
