What to expect

Leave the cobbled streets of Edinburgh behind as you travel past Linlithgow Palace and Stirling Castle and head north. This region is steeped in history so sit back and relax as your driver-guide entertains you with the tales of Mary Queen of Scots, William Wallace and Scottish folklore.

Your first stop of the day will be in the town of Callander on the edge of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park where you can grab a coffee and peruse the delicious local treats on offer. Then, you'll travel north to the Highlands and see shimmering lochs, rugged mountains and forest filled glens. It's all so beautiful that it’s easy to forget these were once battlegrounds for fiercely territorial Highland clans. You'll stop in Glencoe, one of the most famous natural landmarks in all of Scotland that boasts steep slopes and photogenic peaks before entering the glacial valley known as the Great Glen. After you've taken in all of the stunning views, you'll arrive in Fort Augustus on the banks of Loch Ness where you can search for infamous monster, enjoy a relaxing boat cruise or just wander around the shores and take in the views.

Your journey back south is packed full of classic Highland scenery as you travel through the curvy Cairngorms National Park, along Loch Laggan and past Blair Castle. You're sure to be stunned!

    Bruce was a knowledgeable guide who presented his information to meet the needs of the group. He made sure we made it on time and used our time well throughout the day. He gave suggestions and information about upcoming stops. Highly recommend.

    Jim onze buschauffeur en ook onze begeleider krijgt van mij alle lof. Erg grappig en met veel humor verteld hij tijdens het rijden over de geschiedenis van de prachtige omgeving. Een lange bustocht waardoor je veel kunt zien in een dag. Dat betekent wel dat je korte stops hebt en veel in de bus zit.
