After leaving Inverness, our adventure starts with a drive along the legendary shores of Loch Ness, where we’ll discover the myths of Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster.
We pause at Urquhart Castle to capture views of the striking ruins perched on the water’s edge, overlooking the deepest waters of the loch. Continuing south, we reach Invermoriston, home to the historic stone bridge and Summer House, with stunning views over the falls - believed to have inspired Neverland in Peter Pan.
Our route takes us through the Great Glen, a dramatic geological fault line that divides Scotland. It is flanked by vast lochs and towering mountains.
We stop for lunch at the glen’s base before arriving at Glenfinnan, a true highlight of the tour. Here, marvel at the iconic Glenfinnan Viaduct, made famous by Harry Potter.
At Glenfinnan, we’ll also see the poignant Glenfinnan Memorial commemorating the many highlanders who died in the 1745 Jacobite Uprising. Here, Prince Charles Edward Stuart (popularly known as Bonnie Prince Charlie) landed at the start of his ill-fated campaign to capture the Crown for the Stuart dynasty.
The day's last visit will be to Fort Augustus, a bustling village where the Caledonian Canal enters Loch Ness. Visitors can watch the boats descend through an impressive flight of five locks as they head towards the loch to continue their journey.
The final part of our tour takes us along the less-travelled eastern side of Loch Ness. We stop at Dores to enjoy the stunning panoramic views before returning to Inverness.
