With a knowledgeable guide, comfortable transport, and hand-picked accommodation in Oban, this is the perfect way to experience the wild beauty and rich heritage of Scotland. Day 1: Edinburgh – The Kelpies – Stirling Castle – Oban Begin your adventure departing from Edinburgh, heading west to visit The Kelpies, two striking 30-meter horse-head sculptures set in Helix Park near Falkirk. Afterward, explore the historic Stirling Castle, once the residence of Scottish kings and queens. Your journey continues through Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, offering stunning views of lochs and mountains, before arriving in the harbor town of Oban—your base for the next three nights. Enjoy a welcome dinner and a walk along the scenic waterfront. Day 2: Isle of Mull & Iona After breakfast, take the ferry from Oban to the Isle of Mull, a wild and rugged island known for its dramatic coastal scenery. Travel across Mull to the peaceful village of Fionnphort, where you’ll take a short ferry to the sacred Isle of Iona. Visit Iona Abbey, one of Scotland’s most important religious sites, and enjoy time to explore the island’s calm beaches and historic ruins. After a day of island discovery, return to Oban in the evening for dinner and relaxation.

Known for its lush landscapes, ancient ruins, and abundant birdlife, Lismore is a hidden gem of the Inner Hebrides.
