What to expect

  1. Luss
    30m
    After collection from the Greenock port, we head north, crossing the River Clyde and heading towards the Scottish Highlands. Our first stop is the scenic village of Luss, nestled on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. Here you’ll have time to explore the village and take in the sights of Scotland’s largest loch.
  2. Rest and be Thankful
    15m
    From Luss, our journey continues deeper into the National Park. Our route will take us into Argyll and over the ‘Rest and Be Thankful’ – a stunning mountain pass viewpoint that divides Glen Kinglas from Glen Croe. The name comes from a stone inscribed by soldiers who built the original military road in 1753, expressing their gratitude for reaching the summit. We’ll pause here to enjoy the views and learn about the history of this spot. After this short stop, the road opens up onto Loch Fyne which is famous around the world for its succulent seafood, including oysters, langoustines, and mussels.
  3. Inveraray Castle & Gardens
    1h 30m · Admission ticket not included
    We recommend a visit to Inveraray Castle and Gardens (£), where you can discover the fascinating stories of Clan Campbell, one of the most influential Scottish Clans. Take the opportunity to explore the opulent rooms and picturesque gardens of this stiking castle, which has stood on the shores of Loch Fyne since the 1400s.

    Please note - The Castle is closed Tuesdays and Wednsdays during the season. We recommend a visit to Inveraray Town Jail as an alternative.

    After exploring Inveraray, we’ll stop for lunch. Our recommendations are:
    • The George Hotel

    The George Hotel and Samphire Seafood are both in Inveraray town, while Loch Fyne Oysters is just a 15-minute drive away. We’re happy to make a reservation at your chosen restaurant.
  5. Loch Eck
    10m
    After lunch, our journey continues around the quiet side of Loch Fyne towards Loch Eck – a hidden gem located on the westernmost side of the national park, surrounded by lush forests and serene landscapes.
  6. 20m · Admission ticket included
    As your shore excursion draws to a close, we'll journey back to the Greenock port via a short ferry crossing over the ‘watter’, giving you time to reflect on the incredible journey you’ve taken through Scotland’s first national park and ancient clan lands.
