Private Tour Itinerary
After exploring Scotland’s historic capital, Edinburgh, it's time to venture further afield! Embark on a thrilling day of exploration in the magnificent Scottish Highlands, where breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and legendary tales await.
Your expert Scottish tour guide will collect you, sharing an overview of the day ahead. Then, relax as you journey north into the dramatic highland landscapes, where your adventure truly begins.
Loch Lomond
Your first stop is Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. Along the way, there’s a good chance of spotting some adorable Highland Cows, and you may even have the opportunity to feed one—a delightful photo opportunity!
Rannoch Moor & Glencoe
As you continue north, you’ll encounter the wild expanse of Rannoch Moor, one of Scotland's most untouched and remote areas. This rugged landscape recently appeared in the Netflix film Outlaw King, a must-see for history fans of Scotland.
Next, prepare to be captivated by Glencoe, one of Scotland's most iconic locations. Here, you'll learn about the tragic history that shadows this otherwise tranquil landscape. Once home to the MacDonald clan, Glencoe holds stories of resilience and legacy that have shaped Scottish history and culture.
Your journey continues through an ever-shifting landscape—green woodlands, remote moorlands, towering mountains, and deep, mysterious glens. Pass through Ballachulish, Onich, and Fort William, finally arriving at the legendary Loch Ness.
Loch Ness & The Cairngorms
Upon arrival at Loch Ness, you’ll have time to enjoy a boat cruise, giving you the chance to search for the elusive Nessie—a bucket-list experience for many! Whether Nessie appears or not, the scenery and atmosphere of Loch Ness are magical.
After your time at Loch Ness, you’ll travel eastward to the Cairngorms National Park. Here, your guide will lead you on a short hike through the serene highland scenery, immersing you further into Scotland’s natural beauty.
As your day draws to a close, you’ll head south through picturesque towns such as Blair Atholl, Pitlochry, and Dunkeld. Along the way, you may catch a glimpse of waterfalls and roaring rivers (rain-dependent), adding to the enchantment of this memorable day.
Concluding Your Journey
After a day filled with stunning sights, historical insights, and unforgettable experiences, it’s time to return to Edinburgh. Your guide will bid you farewell as you continue your Great Scottish Adventure.
Return Time: Approximately 8:00 pm in Edinburgh
