We meet you at Edinburgh Airport after your early flight and travel by coach with our guide to the exciting city of Glasgow where we will experience the metropolis on foot. The day ends with a relaxing dinner at the hotel.

From Glasgow we make our way to the historic city of Stirling before continuing on to the picturesque town of Inverary. The next stop is the stunning Loch Lomond, the perfect spot for a picture. We will then move on to either the attractive resort town of Oban or Fort William, a town where there is plenty to see and do and which is close to the UK’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis.

If we did not finish the tour in Fort William the previous day, we travel to the town in the morning. From there, we continue to the beautiful village of Glenfinnan and the thriving port of Mallaig before embarking on a boat trip to the Isle of Skye, known for its dramatic mountainous scenery. You will spend time in the cultural centre of Portree and can enjoy a boat trip to see the seals. The day ends with dinner and an overnight stay on the island.

We visit Kyle of Lochalsh, a breathtaking area with castles, hills and lochs and stop at the picture perfect Eilean Donan. We then travel to Loch Ness, the beauty spot which has long been rumoured to be home to a behemoth sea monster, and then on to Urquhart Castle. History enthusiasts can later enjoy a visit to Cawdor Castle before we end the day in either the city of Inverness, the scenic destination of Aviemore or surrounding areas.

We depart for the wonderful town of Pitlochry before tickling our tastebuds with a trip to a distillery. We then travel on to the historic town of Dunkeld before finishing this leg of our trip in the city of Perth with a visit to the famous Scone Palace, the crowning place of the King of Scots.

Take in the sights of the picturesque town of St Andrews before moving on to the stunning ancient town of Linlithgow. Our final stop of the day will be the buzzing Scottish capital, Edinburgh, where there are a variety of amusements to suit all interests.

We will pay a visit to Edinburgh Castle followed by a trip just outside of the city to the Rosslyn Chapel, one of Scotland’s most beautiful heritage attractions. The day ends with dinner and an overnight stay in the capital or surroundings.

There is plenty to entertain you in Edinburgh on this free day, whether you are looking for cultural or historical sites, shops, cafés or restaurants to while away your time. We will then travel by coach to the airport for your evening return flight.
