Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle, Inverness & The Highlands

We will leave from our meeting point: 190 High Street (in the heart of the Royal Mile)

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.

We visit one of the most iconic places in Scottish history, the scene of the last battle fought on British soil, which would change Scottish society and end its clan system.

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.

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 £33.5 for adults and seniors, £31 for children 5-14 and infants, under 5, for free) 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.

The route will continue through the Cairngorms National Park. Lake Laggan and Ardverikie Palace will be some of the places we will pass through until we reach Pitlochry. This town of Victorian houses will welcome us to recharge our batteries in one of its pubs, before our return to Edinburgh.

We will be back in Edinburgh after having explored some of the most beautiful landscapes that Scotland has to offer.The final stop will be in the new Town, close to the city center, in Hanover Street.
