1. The Classic Tour

Eilean Donan Castle

Day One
We leave Edinburgh via the Forth Road Bridge towards historic Dunkeld in Highland Perthshire. After a short woodland walk we continue north past Blair Castle towards the capital of the Highlands, Inverness. After lunch we visit the world's most mysterious stretch of water, Loch Ness before driving west to the Isle of Skye. Our journey to the 'Misty Isle' takes us through Glen Shiel and onto the stunning Eilean Donan Castle, one of the most spectacular locations in Scotland. Night one is spent at the renowned Plockton Hotel, with superb seafood.

Day Two
A day tour of Skye including the Cuillin Mountains, Portree, Trotternish Peninsula and lots of other surprises! The unique scenery of this island is a pleasure for customers and guides alike. Night two back in Plockton or in the country house splendour of Braelangwell.

Day Three
During the spring and summer months we leave Skye by ferry and arrive on the mainland at Mallaig. Our drive to Fort William takes us past the famous Glenfinnan Monument where Prince Charles Edward Stuart landed on the Scottish mainland to begin the ill-fated Jacobite campaign of the mid 18th century. After lunch in Fort William we travel through fabulous Glen Coe, across wild Rannoch Moor and through the Trossachs to Stirling Castle. This magnificent fortress is a fantastic way to wind up three superb days in the Highlands!

For a four day Classic Tour, an overnight can be taken at Dunkeld and Birnam or Pitlochry with superb opportunities for woodland walking. This tour can be built around a traditional music session music depending on the night.
