Things to do Make an itinerary How to get there Choosing accommodation Food and drink Discounts and saving money Safety tips Where are the Highlands? The Highlands is the area north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault (from Arran and Helensburgh on the west coast stretching across to Stonehaven in the east). It is the uppermost part of Scotland (made up of six smaller regions) and home to famous attractions such as Ben Nevis and Loch Ness, towns (notably Fort William, Nairn and Aviemore) and the “City of the Highlands” - Inverness. Traditionally visitors wishing to experience the beautiful Scottish outdoors will travel to the Highlands to visit the scenic lochs, tall snow capped, mountains, vast glens, ancient monuments as well as the beaches and bays along North Scotland’s iconic coastline. Seals, puffins, whales and dolphins are often spotted on these shores. You may want to try to catch a glimpse of the infamous Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights), walk amongst the The Highlands varied wildlife and flora or appreciate the breath-taking Scottish landscapes as part of your Highland experience. Or visit historic towns and villages for sightseeing, fine and traditional dining, shopping and a taste of Highland life.

    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.
