Overview

Departing Edinburgh, travel north into Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, with a relaxed morning refreshment stop in the Highland town of Callander.

The journey continues through Rannoch Moor, one of Scotland’s most remote landscapes, before stopping in Glencoe to admire its dramatic scenery and learn about the events that shaped this iconic glen.

Travelling through Fort William, there is an opportunity to view Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest mountain, from the minibus on clear days, before following the Great Glen to Fort Augustus, at the southern end of Loch Ness.

This is the main stop of the day, allowing time for lunch, exploring the village, watching boats pass through the Caledonian Canal locks, or joining an optional Loch Ness cruise (available on the day, payable locally).

The return journey travels through the Highlands and Perthshire, with an evening refreshment stop before arriving back in Edinburgh, with views of the Forth Bridge on the approach.
