Enjoy a night out in Inverness, and rejuvenate with a walk in the majesty of the Caledonian pine forest and the stunning scenery of the Cairngorm National Park. Stay overnight in the capital of the Highlands - Inverness.
You will depart Edinburgh and head north across the River Forth towards the Highlands. We make a stop in Pitlochry, a quintessential Scottish town nestled among the hills of Perthshire. Get some coffee and find out why Queen Victoria loved this place before you cross into the Cairngorms National Park. This wild heart of the Highlands teems with mountains, rivers, lochs, and wildlife hotspots and is a magnet for all nature lovers. We head to Aviemore, a bustling hub for all outdoor activities, where you can try local specialities before you travel to Loch Morlich, which is as unique as it is bonnie. Leave the majestic mountains and step back in time at Clava Cairns near Inverness. These ancient standing stones and ring cairns are as beautiful as they are mysterious and were made famous by Diana Gabaldon in the Outlander books. Then it’s just a short drive to Inverness, where you’re dropped off at your accommodation. The evening is free for you to explore the Capital of the Highlands.
After a leisurely breakfast, you will be picked up from your accommodation in Inverness and explore the surrounding countryside en route to the mysterious Loch Ness. Here you have the chance to take a boat trip along the loch and visit of impressive Urquhart Castle (optional). Our journey continues south through the Great Glen past Ben Nevis and Fort William, stopping for lunch on your own along the way before arriving in Glencoe. One look and you'll understand why its one of the most famous natural landmarks in all of Scotland. This haunting glen was also the scene of a terrible massacre in 1692, where many of the Clan MacDonald were slaughtered.. perhaps your guide will tell you all about it. The return journey continues over the wild and remote Rannoch Moor and into the Lowland scenery around Stirling, before finally reaching our starting point of Edinburgh. (B)
