Departing Edinburgh your travel into the scenic Trossachs National Park, with the opportunity to enjoy some morning refreshments in the Highland town of Callander. Your tour will then continue through the desolate Rannoch Moor, one of the last remaining wildernesses in Europe. We will stop for photographs in Glencoe which has very dramatic scenery and a dark past.

Travelling through Fort William with Ben Nevis looming overhead, you will follow the Great Glen Canal on its journey to Fort Augustus at the southern top of Loch Ness. Here you’ll have around 2 hours to explore the town and have some lunch. You can also purchase tickets for a 1 hour cruise on the loch.

Leaving Loch Ness behind we will travel through the Grampian Mountains and across sweeping ‘Monarch of the Glen’ country to the Perthshire. Here we will have time for evening refreshments.

You can take in views of the Forth Rail Bridge, a UNESCO world heritage site, as we travel south towards Edinburgh.
