Callander – Gateway to the Highlands Our journey begins with a scenic drive to Callander, a charming town nestled at the foot of the Trossachs. Often referred to as the “Gateway to the Highlands,” Callander offers a glimpse into traditional Scottish village life and is surrounded by stunning countryside.

Enjoy lunch beside the Caledonian Canal and explore this picturesque village. Take time to walk along the loch’s edge – and keep an eye out for Nessie, the legendary Loch Ness Monster!

Commando Memorial – Honouring Heroes Our route takes us past the Commando Memorial, overlooking the Nevis Range. This poignant stop offers a moment of reflection and panoramic views of Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest mountain, while honouring the elite World War II Commandos who trained in the area.
