Tour Loch Ness, Glencoe and Inverness

190 High Street (Royal Mile, Edinburgh)
Begin your adventure to Loch Ness right from the heart of Edinburgh! We’ll meet at 190 High Street and from there, head north towards the Highlands. Along the way, we’ll pass near Stirling, where you can admire the majestic silhouette of Stirling Castle and the Monument to William Wallace, Scotland’s national hero, from the bus window.

Immerse yourself in Scotland’s natural beauty as we cross the Trossachs National Park. After leaving the charming town of Callander, we’ll make a short stop at Kilmahog, the gateway to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. And don’t forget to keep an eye out—this is often the best chance to spot the famous Highland cows, with their long horns and shaggy coats!

Kilmahog & Rannoch Moor
“Prepare to be captivated by the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands. Our journey will take us through a spectacular landscape of towering mountains, serene lochs, and green valleys until we reach the mysterious Rannoch Moor.

There, we will venture into one of Scotland’s most iconic places: the Glencoe valley. This valley, shrouded in a magical atmosphere, hides a turbulent history of clans and conflicts. You will have the opportunity to capture the majesty of the ‘Three Sisters,’ three mountain peaks that rise imposingly over the valley.

Movie buffs can try to identify backdrops from famous films. Glencoe has served as the setting for memorable scenes in Harry Potter and James Bond, among other productions.

Three Sisters Viewpoint
At the Three Sisters viewpoint, you’ll be able to admire its famous mountain peaks.

Commando Memorial (optional stop)

Before reaching Loch Ness, we will stop at the Commando Memorial. This monument pays tribute to the courage and dedication of the elite troops who trained in the Highlands during World War II. And if the weather permits, we will enjoy a privileged view from there of Ben Nevis, the giant of the British mountains.

Fort Augustus & Loch Ness Cruise
Our next stop is Fort Augustus, where the Caledonian Canal meets Loch Ness. Here you’ll have free time to explore, grab a bite, or join the optional 1-hour Loch Ness cruise for a chance to search for the legendary Nessie.

Pitlochry
