our tours

Leaving your hotel, we head north into the mysterious Scottish Highlands, travelling through the Loch Lomond and Trossachs national park towards our first stop, the village of Tyndrum. We’ll stop here for a much-needed coffee break and a quick stretch of the legs.

Heading away from Tyndrum, we’ll continue northwards deeper into the Western Highlands. Our route will take us over the enchanting Rannoch Moor, one of the last remaining wildernesses in Europe, before descending into the cinematic landscapes of Glencoe. We don’t stop here at this point in our tour, but don’t worry, we’ll stop here later in the day.

Our next stop is the highlight of our tour, the Glenfinnan Viaduct – a 21 arch railway crossing, made famous in the Harry Potter movie series. Hopefully, we'll have arrived in time to witness the Steam Train making its iconic crossing as part of its daily adventure on the West Highland Line. Also here, you can investigate the Glenfinnan Monument and St Finnan's Church on the shore of Loch Shiel.

From Glenfinnan we’ll head back towards the town of Fort William for our lunch. The town is the second largest settlement in the highlands, nestled in the shadow of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles. We’ll stop here for lunch, where you’ll find plenty of locally run cafes and restaurants to choose from.

Leaving Fort William, we head back to Glencoe. This time we’ll stop and explore the impressive scenery in more detail. This valley is not only a testament to Scotland's natural wonders but also echoes with tales of clan warfare and resilience, set against a backdrop that feels as if it could be part of a magical saga.

Our final stop will be within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs national park. An area of outstanding natural beauty, you’ll see why the loch and the surrounding area has inspired artists, poets and writers throughout the centuries.

From this part of Scotland we’ll travel back towards your hotel.

Clothing
Glasgow comedian and actor Sir Billy Connolly famously said of Scotland that “there’s no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes”.

It’s true that no matter what the season, the weather in Scotland can be “changeable”. We suggest that you bring suitable clothing for all conditions, including a waterproof jacket and plenty of layers, particularly in the winter months.

Ensure you bring shoes that are suitable for short walks on rough or uneven terrain and, if you plan to do any hiking, we recommend appropriate boots.

The infamous Scottish midge
In the spring/summer months, we highly recommend you pack insect repellent to keep midges away, especially in the highlands. While bites aren’t painful at the time, they can become itchy and uncomfortable afterwards.

Cash or card?
Although all attractions we visit accept card payments, we would also recommend bringing cash with you.
