What to expect
You'll see Loch Lomond through your panoramic window as we meander its western shores. If you look to the right you’ll see Ben Lomond, Scotland’s most southerly Munro (a mountain above 3000 feet) and your first of the tour.
Rest and be Thankful
We pause for photos at the ‘Rest and Be Thankful’, an iconic Scottish viewpoint so named thanks to the words carved in stone by weary soldiers who built the original military road in 1753.
10 minutes
Inveraray
Inveraray is one of Scotland’s most photographed towns. Established in 1745 by the 3rd Duke of Argyll, chief of the powerful Clan Campbell. Inveraray is a classic example of an 18th century planned town with its distinctive white-washed Georgian architecture. Passengers can explore the town and it's shops or visit one of the attractions listed below. (Please note this stop may be reduced to 60 minutes in the winter to minimise the impact of the early sunset later in the tour.)
90 minutes
Passengers have the option to explore Inveraray Castle where the Duke of Argyll and his family live today (tickets can be purchased on the day). Breath in the clear Highland air on a stroll around the parkland, woodland and gardens, which are resplendent with rainbows of the azaleas and rhododendrons that flourish in Argyll in summertime. (Please note the castle is only open April - Oct, Thurs - Mon. it is closed every Tues & Wed.
Instead of visiting the castle passengers can also choose to visit one of Scotland’s top visitor attractions, the 19th century Inveraray Jail, a living museum where you can experience what it was like to be incarcerated behind its bars (tickets can be purchased on the day).
We stop for photographs of imposing Kilchurn Castle, standing proud at the head of Loch Awe.

Oban
Originally a small fishing village, Oban is now the ‘Gateway to the Isles’ and renowned as the ‘seafood capital’ of Scotland. Today the port is the main ferry departure point for the Isle of Mull and the Inner and Outer Hebrides. Seafood lovers travel from miles around to savour its fresh, daily catches in the town’s restaurants and you can savour this too, or opt for classic Scots dishes or more international flavours.

Glencoe’s dark mountains will tumble in on you as you’re delivered into a glen of awesome natural beauty. It’s easy to reimagine one of Scotland’s most shameful times, the 1692 Glencoe massacre, when Campbell-led Government soldiers slaughtered the clan MacDonald by night. We will stop here to take in the views and have time to capture some photographs.
