INVERNESS, LOCH NESS AND THE HIGHLANDS
This two day tour will let you explore one of Scotland's most popular cities, at your own pace; go monster spotting by Loch Ness and see some spectacular scenery. This really is essential Scotland!
Day One
Departing from Edinburgh or Glasgow we make our way to lonely Rannoch Moor and into Glen Coe, Scotland's most famous glen and the scene of the terrible massacre in 1692. We will make a stop in the midst of this awe-inspiring scenery where you can enjoy the magic of this special place. From Fort William the striking scenery of the Great Glen unfolds ahead of us – first Loch Lochy, then Loch Oich and finally Loch Ness. We will tour through the attractive village of Fort Augustus then drive the entire length of Loch Ness. We will make a stop at Urquhart Castle, where you can visit the Castle and take a cruise on the loch. Shortly we will arrive in Inverness, our home for tonight.
Dinner and overnight: Inverness
Day Two
After a leisurely breakfast and free time in Inverness we will visit nearby Culloden Moor, where Bonnie Prince Charlie’s Jacobite Army was routed by Government troops under the command of “Butcher” Cumberland. This bloody battle was the last ever fought on British soil.
Later we make our way through the gentle Spey Valley then on through stunning scenery as we drive over the Drumochter Pass. Keep a close watch for the deer that often come down to the roadside to graze. We wi ll stop in the popular Victorian resort of Pitlochry, nestling on the banks of the River Tummel. Here we will visit little Edradour Malt Whisky Distillery to see how Scotland’s National drink is produced. After our tour there is a chance to taste the end product! From Perth we make our way homewards to journey's end in Edinburgh or Glasgow.
