You step into a quiet, air‑conditioned van in Inverness and the road pulls you away from the city’s river flats toward Loch Ness. The lake’s dark surface slides past the window; hills lift and fall like pages in a travel journal. The driver guides you along the Great Glen, where long valleys and fractured rock tell a slow geological story, then down toward coastal hills and the ferry town of Oban.
