Overview

Journey to the north and into the mountainous highland region of Scotland. Explore some of Scotland’s best scenery and delve deep in the history. Learn about the Scottish clans, folklore and legend that abounds in the hills. See world-famous sights and stop at dramatic locations along the route.

Travel across empty landscape of Rannoch Moor, the dramatic scenery of Glencoe and the rugged highland scenery of The Great Glen. View the imposing Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness and maybe even spot the Loch Ness Monster!

Stop at the picturesque village at Fort Augustus for lunch and a stroll along the Caledonian canal.
