Your Itinerary

Loch Ness Region

This is your chance to hunt for Nessie. Did you know that she was first sighted way back in the year 565AD? Somewhere in that 23 mile stretch is her home in Loch Ness. That stretch has breathtaking scenic spots that we can take you to.

Urquhart Castle

We'll take you to a famous medieval ruins on the shores of Loch Ness. You will have a chance to explore the castle at your leisure. The castle is historically linked as far back as to St. Columba as a Pictish Fort to Robert the Bruce's struggle for independence as a mighty medieval stronghold.

Scotland is well-known for its whisky distilleries. We'll visit one that produces a 12 year old, 15 year old and 18 year old single malt whisky exclusively available to the Southeast Asian market only. If you want a Glen Ord whisky, you'll only be able to buy it from Asia or in the distillery itself. They offer their own respective tour to show how their whisky is made and for visitors to taste the distinct flavour of their whisky for additional fees. We leave this up to you to decide as you can alternatively choose to simply wander about their stunning grounds and enjoy a tasting at your own leisure in their cozy bar.

We'll take you to a local farm to have the pleasure of meeting a Hairy Heilan Coo (Highland Cow) and other lovable farm animals. Scottish produce and souvenirs are available in the Farm Shop.
