Itinerary

Come with us today as we travel through the gorgeous Glencoe valley and listen to legendary Scottish tales. An experience packed with history and beauty, this tour is perfect for those travellers that are short on time and want to see as much of Scotland as you can.

We will leave your accommodation and drive towards the stunning Trossach National Park where we will stop at the historical village called Luss. Gaze over the shimmering Loch Lomond, which is Scotland’s largest fresh water loch, and enjoy the views of our most southerly Munroe, Ben Lomond. Crossover the ancient national fault line and travel into the highlands where the landscapes change dramatically. This is where we first catch a glimpse of the Rannoch Moor, which is covered in heather, lochans and peatbogs. You will also enjoy stunning views of the Black Mount and the Buachaille Etive Mor. We then head through Scotland’s most famous valley, Glencoe. Feel history come alive when we tell the tales of the massacre of the Macdonald clan, which took place in 1692. This is where we will stop for our lunch stop at the award winning Clachaig Inn. After lunch, we will then travel south towards the shores of Loch Linnhe and enjoy the views of the impregnable Castle Stalker. This was once the historical home of the Lord of Lorn, John Stewart. Passing by glens and lochs, we will soon approach our second castle of the day, Kilchurn castle, which sits on the banks of Loch Awe. This was once home to the mighty clan Campbell of Glenorchy. We will then drive you back towards your accommodation, making a quick refreshment stop at the picturesque harbour town of Inveraray, famous for the18th-century castle and home of the Duke of Argyll, chief of the Campbell clan.
