Loch Ness & the Highlands (Scotland)

This is the definitive Highland experience that will introduce you to the very best of the Highlands in just one day. This really is Essential Scotland! We travel to Fort William, which sits in the shadow of Ben Nevis — Britain's tallest mountain. A real highlight is our drive through the Great Glen which is also the route taken by the Caledonian Canal. The Great Glen contains three lochs. Firstly Loch Lochy, then Loch Oich and lastly Loch Ness.The pretty little village of Fort Augustus is our gateway to Scotland's largest and most famous loch. We will tour the entire length of Loch Ness. Here you can visit the Castle and enjoy a cruise on the loch — could that shadow be the monster? Shortly we will arrive in Inverness. We will make a further stop so that you can discover the Capital of the Highlands for yourself. Later we will start our journey southwards through the Spey Valley then on to the dramatic scenery of Glen Garry. We’ll make a brief stop in the rolling Perthshire countryshire before we head for Perth then Edinburgh.
