  • 2-DAY TOUR to EILEAN DONAN CASTLE, LOCH NESS & the WEST
    2-DAY TOUR to EILEAN DONAN CASTLE, LOCH NESS & the WEST HIGHLANDS DAY 1 We leave Edinburgh and head west on a motorway that links the capital to Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland and its industrial heartland. From Glasgow, we pass Stirling on the right, the site of the Battle of Bannockburn where, in 1314, a Scottish army under King Robert the Bruce won a crucial victory against the English. Dominating the town is Stirling Castle which sits high on a large volcanic rock. Prominently sited on a hill close to Stirling is the Wallace Monument, our first stop of the day. It is 67 metres high and was built in the 1860’s to commemorate our great freedom fighter, William Wallace, who led an army against the English and defeated them at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297. He was immortalised in the 1995 film ‘Braveheart’. You will have the chance to visit the monument* and the museum inside which has Wallace’s massive sword (1.7 metres long) on display. There are excellent views from the top. At Stirling we head west. Soon we cross over the river Teith and as we do so, on the right, is the very imposing Doune Castle. Next we drive through Callander, and in the area where the Clan MacGregor reigned in the Middle Ages : the clans were extremely powerful at that time and the best known MacGregor was Rob Roy who was born in 1671. At the next village, Tyndrum, the road divides and we head north into a very sparsely populated area.

  • 5 Day Highlands and Isle of Skye Tour
    5 day Highlands and Isle of Skye Tour Day 1 Our first stop is the mighty Stirling Castle and Wallace Monument. This commanding position at the foot of the Highland boundary has been fought over for thousands of years as a strategic point to control the entire country.

Here we turn off the beaten path into Glen Etive for spectacular scenery and hopefully spot Red Deer in their native habitat. Next stop is Scotland’s most desired spot, Glencoe. Towering mountains on all sides and a bloody history make this an unforgettable experience to all who visit Glencoe Our final port of call is the town of Fort William at the foot of Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis. (Fort William will be our overnight stop). Day 2 We start the day with a visit to Thomas Telford’s engineering masterpiece, Neptune’s staircase. Constructed 200 years ago it’s part of the Caledonian Canal system. This series of 8 locks lifts boats some 70 ft from the sea level to Loch Lochy above. We then head west to Glenfinnan and Loch Shiel for one of Scotland’s finest views. Here we will see the Glenfinnan and Loch Sheil Glenfinnan viaduct which featured in Harry Potter and the Jacobite memorial.
