The Itinerary


Day One
Departing from Edinburgh we make our way towards Stirling then over Rannoch Moor and into famous Glen Coe. You will be awestruck by the beauty of this place. Hopefully there will be views of Ben Nevis as we tour through the Great Glen which culminates with a drive along the banks of Loch Ness. We will stop to visit Urquhart Castle with its panoramic lochside views - keep a close watch in case you know who makes an appearance! Shortly we will arrive in Inverness, our home for the next two nights.

Day Two
We leave Inverness and head northwards to the Cromarty Firth where, depending on tide conditions, we may see our first seals. We will make a stop in the town of Golspie. High above the town is an astonishing statue, 27m (90') high. This is of the First Duke of Sutherland, whose agents were involved in the most notorious of the Clearances in the Highlands during the 19th century - we'll hear more as we head Northwards. Caithness grew rich with the development of the herring fishing in the 19th century and as a result there are many exceptionally beautiful harbours - as we will discover. There are telescopes available on-board our mini-coach to let you marvel at the wide range of birds & wildlife including Puffins (until early August) and red deer (the 'Monarch of the Glen'), which are seen on almost all tours. There are several stops along the way to give you ample opportunity to relax and take a stroll amidst this beautiful scenery.

Day Three
The morning is free in Inverness for individual sightseeing or shopping. Later join your motorcoach for the journey southwards. From the Spey Valley and the Cairngorm Mountains travel through Glen Garry to the pretty Victorian resort of Pitlochry. After a break we'll travel through the gentle Perthshire countryside then through the Kingdom of Fife. We cross the river Forth and make our way into Edinburgh.
