Royal history, green countryside and festive cities
A journey into the drama of Scotland, from the castles of Edinburgh and Stirling to the lochs, glens and mountains of the Highlands and the islands of the west. The route pairs history and clan legend with some of Britain's most spectacular scenery.
A suggested flow for Scotland & the Highlands. Every day is flexible, we build the final routing, pace and hotels around you.
Your journey begins in Edinburgh. Arrival and welcome; transfer to Edinburgh and an evening along the Royal Mile. Timings stay flexible, with room to linger where you like.
Edinburgh Castle and the Old and New Towns, a UNESCO World Heritage site, then travel toward the Highlands. Your guide sets an easy pace, leaving space to wander or simply take it in.
Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument, at the historic gateway between the Lowlands and the Highlands. We build in free time so the day feels unhurried, never rushed.
Today brings you to Loch Ness. The Great Glen and Loch Ness, with the ruins of Urquhart Castle on the water's edge, then on to Inverness. There's room to add an optional experience or keep the day open.
Today brings you to Isle of Skye. Travel west to the Isle of Skye, with the Cuillin mountains, the Old Man of Storr and the Fairy Pools. Evenings are yours, whether to explore further or unwind.
Today brings you to Eilean Donan. The much-photographed Eilean Donan Castle on its island, then the road south through the western Highlands. The rhythm is relaxed, shaped around what you most want to see.
Today brings you to Glencoe. The dramatic valley of Glencoe and the shores of Loch Lomond on the return toward Glasgow. Timings stay flexible, with room to linger where you like.
A final day around Glasgow. Transfer to Glasgow airport for your onward journey. Your guide sets an easy pace, leaving space to wander or simply take it in.
