Day 1 – Into the Highlands

Highlights: Loch Lomond • Glencoe • Fort William • Eilean Donan Castle

Your adventure begins as we leave the bustle of the city and journey north through the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, a landscape of rolling hills and shimmering lochs.

We’ll pause in the hauntingly beautiful Glencoe, a glen rich with both tragic history and cinematic splendour. After lunch in Fort William, we’ll continue towards the iconic Eilean Donan Castle, one of Scotland’s most photographed landmarks.

As the sun sets, we cross the bridge to the Isle of Skye, where the colourful harbour town of Portree will be your base for the next two nights.

Day 2 – The Magic of Northern Skye

Highlights: Old Man of Storr • Kilt Rock • Lealt Falls • Quiraing • Fairy Glen

Prepare for a day of pure wonder as we explore the Trotternish Peninsula, home to some of Skye’s most breathtaking views.

Hike (or admire from below) the Old Man of Storr, gaze upon the dramatic cliffs of Kilt Rock, and feel the spray of Lealt Falls. Then it’s on to the surreal landscape of The Quiraing, shaped by ancient landslides, before finishing in the enchanting Fairy Glen, where it’s said the fairies still dwell.

Return to Portree for an evening of fine local food and traditional Highland hospitality.

Day 3 – Castles, Cuillins & Whisky

Highlights: Dunvegan Castle • Fairy Pools • Talisker Distillery

Today, we’ll dive into Skye’s history and natural beauty. Visit Dunvegan Castle, the 13th-century seat of Clan MacLeod, and stroll its tranquil gardens overlooking Loch Dunvegan.

Next, we’ll head to the Fairy Pools, crystal-clear blue waters nestled beneath the Cuillin Mountains — one of Scotland’s most photographed spots.

In the afternoon, raise a glass at the Talisker Distillery, where you can sample Skye’s famous smoky single malt whisky before returning to Portree for a relaxing evening.

Why You’ll Love This Tour

This isn’t just a trip, it’s an immersive journey through Scotland’s heart and history. From legendary castles to hidden glens, from wild mountain passes to gentle island villages, you’ll see why the Isle of Skye has captured imaginations for centuries.

With your own private guide and the freedom to stop whenever the view takes your breath away, this tour is Scotland at its most personal, authentic, and unforgettable.

Day 4 – Loch Ness & the Journey Home

Highlights: Loch Ness • Urquhart Castle • Cairngorms National Park

After breakfast, we’ll say farewell to Skye and travel through the Great Glen, stopping at Loch Ness to visit the romantic ruins of Urquhart Castle and maybe even spot the elusive Nessie!

Our scenic route continues through the Cairngorms National Park, passing mountain vistas and charming Highland villages before we return to Edinburgh or Glasgow in the early evening.
