Loch Ness, Haunting Glencoe and the Highlands
Tour Highlights
Loch Lomond, Glencoe, Fort William, Ben Nevis, The Great Glen, The Commando Memorial, The Caledonian Canal, Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle, Loch Ness Cruise, Inverness and Perthshire.
By far our most popular tour and it is easy to understand why. Our Loch Ness Tour has it all, spectacular mountain scenery, Highland Lochs, Glens, Castles and if you are lucky, the opportunity to catch a glimpse of Nessie the Loch Ness Monster.
From Glasgow our route takes us north to Loch Lomond National Park. At Inveruglas on the shores of Loch Lomond we make our fist stop of the day for coffee. As we trace Loch Lomond, notice how the landscape begins to change as we climb towards the Highlands and go over the desolate wilderness of Rannoch Moor to Glencoe, scene of the infamous “Glencoe Massacre.” Glencoe with it’s spectacular mountain scenery is a must see where we will make a short stop at the three sisters of Glencoe for photographs to admire the stunning but haunting beauty of the Glen.
Continuing north we will make a stop for lunch in Fort William, which sits in the shadow of Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain. Here we enter the Great Glen a deep glacial valley which follow’s a geological fault line. A little further on and we will make a short stop at the Commando Memorial where you can get off the coach to take in the fantastic views across the Great Glen. Our journey continues as we Criss cross the Caledonian Canal, enjoy the superb views as we hug the shoreline of Loch Ness passing the ruins of Urquhart Castle, the spot of many 'claimed' Loch Ness monster sighting's.
At Dromnadrochit we will stop for about one hour and twenty minutes. In our opinion the best views of Urquhart Castle is from the Loch itself and we recommend you take the hour long 5 star Jacobite Cruise. Alternatively you can simply relax and enjoy some afternoon refreshments at the Clansman Hotel overlooking the mysterious waters of Loch Ness.
After our break we make the short drive to Inverness where we will take in a quick tour of the Highlands Capital before turning south.
Our return route will take us through the Cairngorm's National Park and the Grampian Mountains to the rolling hills of Perthshire where we will make our evening stop for around 45 minutes at the visitor centre before our return to Glasgow.
