Our "Scotland in a Day" tour covers the majestic beauty of Rannoch Moor, Glencoe, the Great Glen, mystic Loch Ness & more, all in the comfort of a 16-seater Mercedes mini-coach. Leaving the cobbled streets of Edinburgh, we'll travel past Linlithgow Palace and Stirling Castle. This region is soaked in history, so sit back and relax as your driver-guide entertains you with the tales of Mary Queen of Scots, William Wallace, and Scottish folklore. If you look out, you can catch a glimpse of the Kelpies. These 30-metre tall horse head sculptures need to be seen to be believed. The tour continues through Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park before continuing north into the Highlands. Here the landscapes suddenly become more provocative - shimmering lochs, rugged mountains, forest-filled glens: it’s all so beautiful that it’s easy to forget these were once battlegrounds for fiercely territorial Highland clans. We will stop in Glencoe, one of the most famous natural landmarks in all of Scotland boasting steep slopes & photogenic peaks. Your driver-guide may reveal to you the tragic tale that’s haunted this valley for over 300 years. You'll then enter the glacial valley known as the Great Glen and pass under the shadow of Ben Nevis, Britain’s tallest mountain. After this visual feast of mighty inclines, you arrive at Fort Augustus on the banks of Loch Ness where you'll have around one hour and a half of free time. Here you can search for the infamous monster during a relaxing boat cruise (50 minutes, from April to October), wander around the shores of the loch at your own pace, and grab a bite to eat. The journey south is packed full of classic Highland scenery as we travel through the curvy Cairngorms National Park, along Loch Laggan, and past Blair Castle back to Edinburgh.
