What to expect
Callander
Our first stop of the day is Callander, gateway to the Highlands. We stop here for refreshments and to enjoy the small town before we journey into the highlands.
Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park
We will journey through the Trossachs National Park on our way to Glencoe.
Glencoe
We stop for photos at Glencoe and enjoy its atmospheric surroundings. The location is infamous for the Massacre of the Clan MacDonald. Learn all about its dark history and take some beautiful photos!
Fort William
We stop in the town of Fort William for an early lunch break before we continue onwards.
Neptune's Staircase
Time permitting, we'll pause for photos at Neptune's Staircase. The staircase lock comprises of eight locks on the caledonian canal, and raises the canal by 19m (62ft). It was built in the early 1800s and is the longest staircase lock in Britain.
Glenfinnan Viaduct
We spend plenty of time at Glenfinnan to see the monument and its Viaduct. We arrive just in time to see the Jacobite Steam train cross over the bridge; so don't forget to bring your camera for this iconic photo! Please note: The Jacobite Steam Train is operated by another company. We cannot always guarantee that your tour and the train will meet up at the same time.
Pitlochry
As we journey back down south, passing through the spectacular Cairngorms National Park, our final stop of the day is Pitlochry, a small town to the north of Edinburgh. Stop here for refreshments and enjoy wandering its small streets before we continue onwards to Edinburgh, where our tour ends. During peak months the itinerary may be run in reverse to avoid congestion at attractions and refreshment stops. When running in reverse we will pass through Pitlochry but stop at alternative location for refreshments.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
