Experience Scotland's beauty from the scenic Isle of Skye to the remote Outer Hebrides on this multi-day guided tour. Hear tales, myths, and legends as you explore Loch Ness, Glencoe, and more.
Day 1: Edinburgh to Inverness
We travel north stopping to visit the Kelpies, a stunning spectacle of modern engineering. Kelpies are mythological beasts in Scottish folklore, and this fantastic landmark is the largest of its kind in the world. We arrive in Glencoe, dominated by majestic mountains which contrast the flat expanse of its neighbouring Rannoch Moor. Your guide will take you through Glencoe’s sad history. We stop in Fort Augustus to visit the legendary Loch Ness for a photo break. Overnight Inverness
Day 2: Inverness to Stornoway
Commence your day with invigorating breezes and breathtaking views at Corrieshalloch Gorge. Proceeding northward along a picturesque route, we embark on a ferry voyage from Ullapool to Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis – all the while keeping a lookout for playful dolphins! Upon reaching the island, we make our way directly to the southern tip of Harris, where we’ll explore the renowned Harris Distillery for a delightful sip before heading back to the northern part of Lewis for an overnight stay in the bustling town of Stornoway. Overnight Stornoway
Day 3: Stornoway to Stornoway
Visit one of the inspirations behind Outlander - the Callanish standing stones. Then fast-forward to the Iron Age at the broch of Dun Carloway. Experience island life at the Gearrannan Blackhouse Village. These houses were lived in until as recently as the 1970s and represent 17th century island life on Scotland’s rugged Atlantic Coast. We explore the remote coastline and visit the Butt of Lewis – the most northerly point on the island – to see the isolated lighthouse and dramatic force of the sea against the cliffs. Overnight Stornoway
Day 4: Stornorway to Portree
After leaving Stornoway, we'll visit a memorial highlighting a darker side of island life. We'll explore beautiful beaches and the oldest medieval church on the Isle of Harris. Then, we'll catch a ferry to Skye, making Portree our base for two nights. Enjoy local seafood and whisky or take a scenic walk in town. Overnight Portree
Day 5: Portree to Portree
We spend the day exploring Skye, visiting iconic locations such as Kilt Rock, the Old Man of Storr and the Quiraing. Next we stop at the most photographed castle in Scotland, Eilean Donan. Overnight Portree
Day 6: Portree to Edinburgh
Start the day by exploring Armadale Castle, once home to Clan MacDonald. We board the ferry from Armadale and arrive in Mallaig, a charming fishing village. Treat yourself to some fish and chips before an optional ride on the Jacobite Steam Train. The West Highland Line between Mallaig and Fort William is famous for its wildly beautiful scenery and dreamy sands of the west coast. You’ll quickly understand why it’s been voted the most scenic rail journey in the world. We make a final comfort stop in the southern Highland village of Pitlochry before concluding our tour in Edinburgh at approx. 5:30pm.
