You’ll have time to get settled in, perhaps grab a drink in the snug lounge, and then have dinner.
Day Two – Included scenic journey to the Isle of Skye

Breakfast this morning will followed by a full day of sightseeing. The tour will start by travelling along the west shore of the beautiful Loch Ness, where you’ll have a chance to stop and take in the spectacular scenery from the banks of this world-famous fresh-water lake.

Continuing along the A87, the tour will then head to the Isle of Skye, calling at Eilean Donan Castle on the shores of Loch Doch. Here, you’ll be able to snap a photograph of the castle, which was captured in movies such as the James Bond series.

You’ll then cross Skye Bridge to the Isle of Skye, known for its dramatic scenery, peppered with craggy outcrops, ancient castles, and fishing villages. Upon arrival, you can check into your charming accommodation with traditional features, take it easy and have dinner.
Day Three – Included sightseeing tour of Isle of Skye

Fuel up on breakfast as you have another day of sightseeing ahead, allowing you to get better acquainted with the Isle of Skye.

The tour will kick-off by passing the lofty and often mist-clad Cullin Hills and journeying towards Dunvegan Castle and Gardens. This is the oldest inhabited castle in Scotland and has been the ancestral home of the Chiefs of Clan MacLeod for 800 years. You’ll join a tour of the property and its gardens awash with eclectic plants, ornate bridges, and ponds.

In the afternoon, you’ll travel to the island’s main town, Portree, lined with white and colour-washed buildings set around the harbour. Embrace some time to potter around the pretty port before returning to your hotel for dinner
Day Four – Included ferry to Mallaig, drive past Glenfinnan Viaduct and stop at Fort William

Enjoy breakfast, check out of the hotel and then the tour will make its way to Armadale, where you’ll catch a ferry (weather permitting) to the fishing town of Mallaig.

From the ferry, you’ll continue driving through the Highlands, and passing by the Glenfinnan Viaduct, the longest concrete railway bridge in Scotland that features in several Harry Potter movies. You’ll also get the opportunity to stop at Fort William, the gateway to Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest peak, and view the mountain in all its glory.

Later in the day, you’ll be taken to your next hotel, where you can nurse a whiskey in the loch-facing bar before dinner.
Day Five – Included ferry to the Isle of Mull and sightseeing tour

Get prepped for a new day of exploration after breakfast, starting with a transfer to Oban, ‘the gateway to the isles. You’ll then catch a ferry to the Isle of Mull and begin a guided sightseeing tour.

Later in the day, you’ll return to your hotel to rest up and have dinner.
Day Six – Included tour of Trossachs National Park and visit to Loch Lomond

It’s your final day, and following breakfast, you’ll make the most of it by journeying to Trossachs National Park, which was Scotland’s first national park. An expanse of wooded glens, teeming with wildlife, this park is home to the largest lake in the UK, Loch Lomond.

You’ll take to the waters of this lake with a cruise while keeping your eyes peeled for beavers and otters paddling near the banks, the regal Scottish red deer strolling alongside or some of the 200 species of birds that inhabit the area.

Towards the end of this nature-filled day, you’ll travel on to another hotel in the greater Glasgow area for the evening.
