Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle, Inverness & The Highlands
Travel to Inverness, discover Loch Ness and its legendary monster and fall in love with the picturesque ruins of Urquhart castle, one of Scotland’s most iconic attractions.
A 190 High Street, The Royal Mile
We will leave from our meeting point: 190 High Street (in the heart of the Royal Mile)
B Bankfoot
From Edinburgh, we will stop on the way at the beautiful spot of Bankfoot, a place where we can rest after this first part of the journey, have a hot drink and take advantage of the surroundings to see the typical hairy cows of the Highlands, the Hairy Coos. This is also the location of the Queen’s View, which has stunning panoramic views.
Access to the viewpoint is currently under refurbishment and we would not visit it, although it may be available for your tour date.
C Inverness
We will follow the course of the River Ness until we reach the capital of the Highlands, Inverness, known for its Saint Andrews Cathedral and its castle. There you will have the opportunity to have a snack and stroll around the the city centre.
D Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle
Our next destination will be Loch Ness where we will have the opportunity to join the cruise on the lake and visit the ruins of Urquhart Castle.
This castle was an ancient fortress that experienced some of Scotland’s great conflicts, from the Picts to the Jacobite Wars and the English invasion. It is undoubtedly a place with a lot of history, but also with a lot of magic.
- The ticket to the cruise trip and the entrance to Urquhart Castle is not included in the tour price. The price of the activities (a single price of £29.50) includes both entrance tickets which cannot be purchased separately.
If you are not interested in visiting Urquhart Castle, we recommend the Loch Ness, Glencoe & The Highlands tour option from Edinburgh.
E Dunkeld
We will leave the north of Scotland and begin the descent towards Edinburgh, stopping in the small village of Dunkeld, located on the banks of the River Tay (Scotland’s longest river). This was the home of Picts and the hiding place of the relics of Scotland’s most important saint, St Columba. Don’t miss the ruins of its gothic cathedral on the banks of the river and surrounded by woodland that inspired William Shakespeare.
F Arrival to Edinburgh
We will be back in Edinburgh after having explored some of the most beautiful landscapes that Scotland has to offer.
Low Season - Itinerary until 4th April
UNTIL 4th April, we are still maintaining our low season itinerary:
We will depart from our meeting point: 190 High Street (in the middle of the Royal Mile).
- We will follow the course of the River Ness until we reach the capital of the Highlands, Inverness, known for its St Andrews Cathedral and its castle. There you can take the opportunity to have a snack and stroll around the city centre.
- Our next destination will be Loch Ness and the ruins of Urquhart Castle. This castle was an ancient fortress that saw some of Scotland’s greatest conflicts, from the Picts to the Jacobite Wars to the English invasion. It is undoubtedly a place with a lot of history, but also with a lot of magic. At this point of the tour, we offer you the option to visit Urquhart Castle and take a short cruise on Loch Ness:
The entrance fee for the Loch Ness Cruise together with the visit to Urquhart Castle is not included in the tour price. £27.00 adults (16-64) / £24.50 Seniors +65, £16.5 children (5-15), free for children under 5. The price of the activities includes both tickets, which cannot be purchased separately. If you do not wish to participate in the cruise and castle activity, you will have free time at Clasman Harbour, next to Loch Ness.
We also remind you that in case you are not interested in visiting Urquhart Castle, you can choose the Loch Ness, Glencoe and the Highlands tour option.
- Amidst mountain scenery, lochs and valleys, we will reach the Rannoch Moor. We will stop in one of the most beautiful and magical valleys in Scotland: the Glencoe Valley, where one of the bloodiest episodes between clans took place. It is here that we will be able to photograph the Three Sisters and also recognise some of the scenery from famous films such as Harry Potter and James Bond.
- The last stop before finishing our tour will be Tyndrum, the most genuine representation of a traditional village in our passage through the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, a meeting place for locals and visitors to the Highlands. From here, all that is left is to head back to Edinburgh to conclude our tour.
