Overview
We start bright and early, heading straight to the legendary home of Nessie at Scotland’s most famous loch, Loch Ness! As we wind through the Highlands toward the west coast, towering mountains open up to sprawling sea lochs once used by Vikings. Next, we arrive at Eilean Donan Castle, where an optional tour dives into Scotland’s fierce and fascinating past.
From there, it’s on to the star of the show: the Isle of Skye! Along the way, you’ll hear tales of legendary clans, daring escapes, and the myths that shape this land. We’ll stop for lunch in Portree to explore its vibrant harbour before visiting the iconic Old Man of Storr—one sight you won’t soon forget. Then, it’s on to Kilt Rock, where a dramatic waterfall plunges into the sea, before we wrap up with the surreal landscapes of the Quiraing.
Our journey ends with a scenic drive back to Inverness, bringing you through Scotland’s stunning scenery just in time for evening.
