Itinerary

  • Your tour starts off on a 70 minute road trip drive along the Great Glen. Passing through the majestic Loch Ness on to Loch Oich with a brief stop at the Well Of The Seven Heads. You will learn the gruesome history of Clan warfare.

  • We then drive out for about 50 minutes to Glenfinnan, to the very spot where Bonnie Prince Charlie raised his Standard to begin the Jacobite rebellion of 1745. By coincidence, this is also the place where the Harry Potter Hogwarts Express was filmed. Giving you the opportunity to watch this amazing train passby on the nearby Glenfinnan Viaduct. The scenery is simply stunning all round that it's not surprising to be a favorite film location.

  • We'll then head out to take you to a quaint little town where there's a variety of restaurants/cafes for you to choose from to have lunch, a little wander around usually gives off a local vibe experience.

  • We arrive at one of the must-visit places in Scotland. Famously beautiful with its geological terrain but also holds a most tragic history. The sense of drama with this unique landscape can take your breath away. It makes for an epic hike or a stroll down it's stream.

  • Heading back along the way, we stop by the Commando Memorial. Get to learn about the young men who carried out their Commando training here in this wild country. It is also one of those spots where you have a great panoramic view of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK.
