Edinburgh: Loch Ness, Glencoe and The Highlands

About this activity

Mythical beasts, tall tales and dramatic scenery: explore the beauty of Scotland in a day on this one day coach tour.

Leaving from Edinburgh, we head northwest passing famous landmarks such as Linlithgow Palace: birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, the mystical Kelpies, and the dramatically perched Stirling Castle.

Continuing north we arrive in Glencoe for some photos of the dramatic ridges called the Three Sisters.

We stop in the Fort William area for lunch before heading into the natural beauty of the Great Glen as we pass Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis.

Heading further into the highlands we arrive in the small picturesque village of Fort Augustus - you can choose to take part in an optional boat cruise here.

The road home will be time to relax and take in the Highland scenery. Final refreshment stop is at the historic town of Pitlochry before continuing the journey home over the Firth of Forth alongside UNESCO Forth Rail Bridge enroute back into Edinburgh.
