Edinburgh to Fort Augustus via the Highlands
Depart Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital, and travel north into the Highlands, passing through the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. This scenic region is known for its lochs, forests and mountain views, offering a stunning introduction to Scotland’s natural beauty.
Continue north into the dramatic landscapes of Glen Coe, one of Scotland’s most famous glens. Carved by ancient volcanic activity and shaped by powerful history, it is a highlight of the Highland route.
We then follow part of the route taken by the Jacobite Steam Train and stop at Glenfinnan to view the world famous Viaduct, along with views over Loch Shiel and the Glenfinnan Monument.
From here, continue to Fort Augustus on the southern shores of Loch Ness. Enjoy free time to relax by the Caledonian Canal, explore the village, and search for Nessie from the lochside viewpoints.
Overnight: Fort Augustus, Loch Ness

Loch Ness to the Isle of Skye via Eilean Donan Castle
After breakfast you have the opportunity to join a cruise on the world’s most famous loch. You will then journey west to the iconic Eilean Donan Castle, one of Scotland’s most photographed landmarks, set where three sea lochs meet.
You will then cross the bridge onto Skye and arrive at your accommodation for a two-night stay.
