Itinerary

Your guide will pick you up from your accommodation and drive towards the stunning Trossach National Park where we will stop at the mighty falls of Falloch for that perfect picture opportunity. This is where we will cross over the ancient national fault line and travel into the highlands where the landscapes change dramatically. Capture some beautiful images 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. This is where we will enjoy taking stunning panoramas of this unique looking landscape. 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 picture perfect views of the impregnable Castle Stalker. This was once the historical home of the Lord of Lorn, John Stewart.

Passing by the great 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 and the best way to finish our photography experience before we return you and your friends to your accommodation.
