3-Day Skye & Inverness Tour from Edinburgh and Glasgow: Loch Lomond and Loch Ness

Your journey begins in Edinburgh or Glasgow as we travel north into the stunning landscapes of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.
Our first stop is beside the famous Loch Lomond, the largest freshwater loch in Great Britain. Take time to stretch your legs, enjoy a coffee and admire the views across the water while your guide shares the stories behind the famous Scottish song The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond.
Continuing north, we cross the remote wilderness of Rannoch Moor, one of the last great wild landscapes in Britain. Soon the towering mountains of Glen Coe appear before us.
This dramatic valley is steeped in history and was the site of the infamous Massacre of Glencoe in 1692. Your guide will bring the story to life as you take in the glen's soaring peaks and cascading waterfalls.

Today we explore the legendary Isle of Skye, an island famed for its rugged mountains, dramatic coastlines and ancient legends.
Your guide will adapt the day's route depending on weather and local conditions to ensure you experience the very best of Skye.
One of the island's most striking features is the Cuillin Mountains, a dramatic ridge of jagged peaks that dominate the island's skyline.
We travel around the spectacular Trotternish Peninsula, home to some of Scotland's most extraordinary geological formations.
Here we stop to admire:
• Old Man of Storr
• Kilt Rock
• Mealt Falls
We also visit the colourful harbour town of Portree, the island's charming capital. With its pastel-coloured houses overlooking the bay, Portree offers a perfect setting for lunch and time to explore.
After a full day discovering Skye's landscapes, we return to Inverness for another evening in the Highlands.

Our final day begins beside the mysterious waters of Loch Ness, one of the deepest and most famous lochs in the world.
Here you can choose to join an optional the Jacobite boat cruise across the loch in search of the legendary Loch Ness Monster while enjoying views of the dramatic ruins of Urquhart Castle.
We then visit the historic Culloden Battlefield, where the final Jacobite uprising ended in 1746. The powerful visitor centre brings the story of the battle vividly to life and offers a moving insight into one of Scotland's most significant historical events.
Travelling south, we stop in the picturesque Highland town of Pitlochry, set beside the River Tummel. This charming Victorian town has welcomed visitors since the days when Queen Victoria helped popularise Highland tourism.
From here we continue through the Highlands before returning to Edinburgh, where the tour concludes.
