Your experience

Set off from Edinburgh to Scotland’s wild heart

Begin your journey in the historic city of Edinburgh, heading north into the sweeping landscapes of the Scottish Highlands. Led by your experienced English-speaking guide, you’ll travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned coach designed for panoramic viewing as you ride to your first stop: the captivating village of Luss on Loch Lomond’s western shore.

Spectacular scenery and Highland legends

From Luss, your adventure continues through the remote beauty of Rannoch Moor and onto the haunting glens of Glencoe. Listen as your guide shares stories about the infamous Glencoe Massacre and reveals fascinating details about the region’s volcanic origins and rich clan history. Pause in Fort William for a memorable lunch with views of Ben Nevis, the UK’s tallest peak. Here, you can relax and fuel up while soaking in the Highland atmosphere before moving northward towards the world-famous Loch Ness.

Search for Nessie and stay in the Highland capital

Travel along the shores of Loch Ness, where you’ll have the chance to peer across the mysterious waters for a glimpse of the legendary "Nessie." Admire sightings of iconic Urquhart Castle as your route leads you onward to Inverness, the lively Highland capital, where you’ll spend a restful evening (if your chosen tour option includes an overnight stay). You'll enjoy the freedom to discover Inverness’s charm at your own pace, sampling its local cuisine and welcoming pubs.

Historic sites and Scotland’s spirit

The next morning, your tour dives deep into Scotland’s extraordinary past at the historic Culloden Battlefield. Learn how this site shaped Scottish history during the last great battle fought on mainland British soil. Afterward, travel through the stunning Spey Valley and visit the evocative ruins of Ruthven Barracks, a striking reminder of the country’s Jacobite heritage.

No Highland journey would be complete without experiencing authentic Scotch whisky. Where available, enjoy a guided tasting tour at the renowned Dalwhinnie Distillery, which stands amidst the dramatic mountain backdrop and offers insight into the craftsmanship behind Scotland’s most famous export.

Return through iconic landscapes

Round off your Highland adventure with a comfortable return drive to Edinburgh, soaking in rugged mountains, peaceful lochs, and remote glens. Along the way, your guide will continue to share anecdotes, cultural trivia and Highland folklore, making sure every moment is meaningful and memorable.
