Loch Ness, Glen Coe and the Highlands from Glasgow
Leave Glasgow behind as your driver-guide shares stories of Scotland’s industrial heritage and vibrant culture.
Loch Lomond and The Trossachs
Our first stop is Loch Lomond, Scotland’s largest freshwater loch and the inspiration for the famous folk song. Stroll along the Bonnie Banks or enjoy a coffee before we continue north.
Glen Coe and Rannoch Moor
Enter Glen Coe, a place of towering peaks, cascading waterfalls and dark history, and hear the story of the Glencoe Massacre of 1692. We also cross Rannoch Moor, the vast wilderness seen in Skyfall.
Loch Ness and Fort Augustus
In Fort Augustus, at the southern tip of Loch Ness, stop for lunch and take an optional cruise, keeping an eye out for Nessie as you pass Cherry Island and Fort Augustus Abbey. Prefer to stay on land? Walk along the Caledonian Canal or explore the village.
The Cairngorms
Return through the Cairngorms National Park, home to five of the UK’s six highest mountains and a quarter of Scotland’s ancient forests.
Highland Perthshire and Return to Glasgow
Make a final stop in Highland Perthshire, at the geographical centre of Scotland, to buy local produce and meet some friendly Highland coos. Pass Stirling, with views of Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument, before arriving back in Glasgow.
