    Glencoe

    The towering mountains of Glencoe are a sight to behold. But behind the beauty lies tragedy. The Massacre of Glencoe in 1692 is forever remembered as one of the most despicable acts of betrayal in Scottish history. The beauty and the history combine to make the atmosphere of this place something special.

    Caledonian Canal

    Running for the length of the Great Glen is the Caledonian canal. A most impressive feat of engineering the canal includes Neptune’s Staircase, the longest staircase lock in the UK. We will stop at Fort Augustus which the canal runs through and sits on the shores of Loch Ness. A great place to stop for lunch and enjoy fantastic views of the loch.
