Itinerary

Day 1Edinburgh to Skye

You depart from Edinburgh and head west, embarking on a journey that is a dream for history lovers. As you make your way through the Lowlands, you pass the majestic Stirling Castle and Doune Castle, renowned for its distinctive architecture and appearances in films and television shows. After crossing the ancient geological fault line that runs through Scotland, you enter Trossachs National Park, in the majestic Highlands. The flat, fertile plains of the Lowlands give way to rugged mountain peaks and forest-filled glens. A quick break by a shimmering loch or in a charming Highland village refreshes you for the next leg of your journey.

As you continue north, you’ll encounter the wild and desolate landscapes of the Black Mount and Rannoch Moor before arriving at Glencoe, one of Scotland’s most famous natural landmarks. Renowned for its dramatic, rugged slopes, this breathtaking area has been featured in numerous films and is steeped in history. You’ll have time for photo stops or a short walk to fully appreciate the stunning scenery.
 
Next, you’ll visit Fort William, a charming Highland town nestled at the foot of Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis. You’ve got time for lunch and exploration, so you can decide what you want to do. Sample local cuisine, wander the streets of the town centre, or visit a local museum to learn more about the area’s rich history. Continuing along the Great Glen, you’ll pass the iconic, rugged mountains of the Five Sisters of Kintail and the picturesque Eilean Donan Castle, with opportunities for photo stops and short breaks along the way.
 
As you cross the bridge to the Isle of Skye, one of Scotland’s most mesmerizing islands, you’ll follow the dramatic coastline, stopping at iconic viewpoints to admire the stunning outlines of the Red and Black Cuillins. From there, you’ll continue toward the island’s capital, Portree, where you’ll be dropped off at your accommodation in the early evening, giving you plenty of time to venture out and explore the charming town.
 
Your overnight accommodation will be in Portree.
 

Day 2Exploring Skye

Every horizon in Skye conceals something astoundingly beautiful. So today, your driver-guide makes the most out of your time and weather in this marvel-studded landscape.

Exploring Skye feels like stepping into a dream, with countless places to explore. You might head north to the Trotternish Ridge and beyond, where you’ll encounter geological wonders such as the Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock, and the breathtaking Quiraing mountain pass. This part of the island enchants visitors with surreal rock formations, dramatic cliffs, vast open spaces, and an overwhelming sense of wildernes.

After all this exploration, we’ll pause in one of the island’s towns for lunch to recharge for the second part of the day. In the late afternoon, your driver-guide may take you back in time, sharing stories about the legends and clan culture surrounding Dunvegan Castle, the 13th-century ancestral home of the Clan MacLeod.

You’ll return to Portree in the evening, giving you the freedom to decide how to spend your time. Will you have dinner and take a leisurely stroll along the picturesque harbour? Or will you seek out pubs and venues hosting traditional Scottish music sessions? The choice is yours.(B)

Your overnight accommodation will be in Portree.

Day 3Eilean Donan Castle, Fort Augustus & Perthshire

You travel south, passing the Cuillin Hills and Sligachan Bridge, before returning to the mainland for a closer look at Eilean Donan Castle. Perched on a small island, this iconic castle, which has recently gained fame as a movie location, has many old stories to tell. You can enjoy refreshments at a local café and stroll along the loch to admire the castle from the outside. Alternatively, you can explore its chambers, where you’ll discover a collection of artifacts belonging to the MacKenzie and MacRae clans.

You travel past shimmering lochs framed by the rugged mountains of the Five Sisters of Kintail. After this visual feast of towering peaks, you arrive in the charming village of Fort Augustus, nestled along the banks of Loch Ness.

We stop for lunch in Fort Augustus, giving you the freedom to decide how to spend your time. You can stroll along the Caledonian Canal and watch the boats navigate its locks, enjoy Scottish specialties in one of the cozy cafés or restaurants, or wander to the banks of the legendary loch in hopes of catching a glimpse of the elusive monster. Your journey south is filled with classic Highland scenery. As you travel past the broad peaks of Cairngorms National Park, you’ll enjoy various photo stops along the way. Gradually, the dramatic mountains soften and become cloaked in lush forest. Among the towering trees of Perthshire, you’ll take a final refreshment break in Pitlochry.

You continue south through the rolling hills and fertile farmlands of the Kingdom of Fife. Your last highlight is the view of the iconic UNESCO-listed Forth Rail Bridge on your way to Edinburgh. (B)
