The stunning beauty of Glen Affric is the highlight of this enchanting two day journey that will take you to Glen Coe, the Great Glen, Loch Ness and the Spey Valley. Sit back, relax and let us show you the best scenery in Scotland!
Day One
Departing from Edinburgh or Glasgow we make our way to lonely Rannoch Moor and into Glen Coe, Scotland’s most famous glen and the scene of the terrible massacre in 1692. We will make a stop in the midst of this awe-inspiring scenery where you can enjoy the magic of this special place. From Fort William the striking scenery of the Great Glen unfolds ahead of us – first Loch Lochy, then Loch Oich and finally Loch Ness. We will tour through the attractive village of Fort Augustus then drive the entire length of Loch Ness. We will make a stop at Urquhart Castle, where you can visit the Castle and take a cruise on the loch (optional). Shortly we will arrive in Inverness, our home for tonight.
The stay in Inverness is unescorted.
Day Two
This morning we have an wonderful excursion to Glen Affric, considered by many to be Scotland’s most picturesque glen. This dramatic and beautiful gorge contains the gushing River Affric and is the quintessential Highland Glen complete with mountains and moorland. Glen Affric is home to one of the largest remnants of the ancient Caledonian pine forest left in Scotland. We’ll make an extended stop here so you can enjoy a walk or simply relax in these spectacular surroundings.
Later there is free time in Inverness for shopping or sightseeing. As we depart Inverness we make our way through the gentle Spey Valley then on through stunning scenery as we drive over the Drumochter Pass. Keep a close watch for the deer that often come down to the roadside to graze. There are wonderful views of majestic Blair Castle before we make a stop for afternoon tea in the heart of the Perthshire countryside. From Perth make our way homewards to journey’s end in Edinburgh or Glasgow.
