Full description

Begin your tour from Edinburgh at 08:00 AM. As you pass Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument, your tour guide will tell you all about the Scottish national heroes William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, and the bloody battles fought out on these lands.

Afterwards, get back on the bus and head through hills, mountains, and glens, as well as the wild Rannoch Moor. Around here you may be able to spot the locations from various films such as Outlander, Skyfall, and Harry Potter.

Next, you will pass through Fort William, where you will see the spectacular Ben Nevis, the tallest mountain in the British Isles. From there reach Fort Augustus, where if you are lucky enough, you’ll catch a glimpse of Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster. In this picturesque village, you’ll have 2 hours of free time where you can take the opportunity to stroll along the Caledonian Canal, grab some lunch, and take the optional boat cruise from Fort Augustus.

On route to the next location, stop at the Commando Memorial, travel along the banks of Loch Laggan and its dam, before finally entering the Cairngorms National Park.

On the way back, as you re-enter Edinburgh from the North, you will be met with views of three spectacular bridges, from three different centuries which span the Firth of Forth, connecting the Capital city and the Kingdom of Fife.

By 08:00 PM you will be back in the Edinburgh New Town.
