Tour Description:


The most popular Haggis tour - ideal if you’re short on time but still want to explore some of Scotland’s most famous sights. Go Nessie hunting, discover ruined castles, stunning lochs, dramatic mountains and hear tales of Celtic myths and legends.

Day by Day Itinerary:

Day 1: Edinburgh to Loch Ness
We leave Scotland's captal and head to Stirling, home to legends such as William Wallace and Robert the Bruce and scene of many of Scotland’s most famous and bloody battles. Our route north takes us through the dramatic and inspiring Glencoe and if weather permits,  we may well take one of our legendary ‘wee walks’, before heading for Fort William - in the shadow of mighty Ben Nevis (Britain’s highest mountain). Travelling through the Great Glen we head for Fort Augustus. Staying on the banks of Loch Ness, tonight we discover a bit more of Highland history and culture, before trying to entice Nessie out for a wee dram!

 Day 2: Loch Ness to Isle of Skye
Today we explore the magical Isle of Skye. Ruined castles, awesome scenery and home to the legendary MacLeod and MacDonald Clans. Immersed in Celtic myths and legends, hear all about the Faeries and the Selkies plus local characters who have contributed to the rich history of this magical island. Quite simply unmissable!

Day 3: Loch Ness to Edinburgh
Before heading south en route for Edinburgh, we follow the entire length of Loch Ness, searching for a priceless glimpse of the legendary beast.  We pass through Inverness, capital of the Highlands, and head for brooding Culloden Moor, sight of the defeat of Bonne Prince Charlie’s Jacobite uprising. After a bite to eat and perhaps another ‘wee walk’, we head south past Pitlochry, Dunkeld and Perth (amongst other things) before arriving back in Edinburgh at approximately 5.30pm. – An action packed fun filled and unforgettable 3 days!
