Departing early from Edinburgh, this comprehensive tour immerses you in the amazing beauty of the Scottish Highlands, accompanied by expert commentary and a Spanish-speaking guide. It’s the perfect opportunity to discover the wild and captivating nature of northern Scotland in just one day. The journey begins with a scenic drive through Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, a region renowned for its lakes, rugged mountains, and charming villages. We’ll make a brief stop in Kilmahog, where you can encounter Scotland’s famous Highland cows and enjoy the fresh Highland air. Next, we arrive at Glencoe, one of Scotland’s most dramatic and historically significant valleys. Known for its stunning natural beauty and the tragic events of the 1692 Glencoe Massacre, this area offers panoramic views and a deep connection to Scotland’s rich clan heritage. At the “Three Sisters” viewpoint, you’ll have time to take in the scenery and capture memorable photos. The journey continues north to the legendary Loch Ness. Here, you’ll have free time in the picturesque village of Fort Augustus, located at the southern tip of the lake. You can opt for a boat cruise (not included) to explore the waters of Loch Ness and maybe catch a glimpse of the elusive “Nessie,” the world-famous Loch Ness Monster. Whether you see it or not, the views from the lake are truly spectacular. Then, the tour heads to Inverness, the vibrant capital of the Highlands. You’ll have free time to explore this charming city, stroll along the River Ness, admire the distinctive red sandstone Inverness Cathedral, or relax in one of its cosy cafés, soaking up the unique Highland atmosphere. On the return trip to Edinburgh in the afternoon, the route passes through stunning landscapes. We’ll make a short stop in the charming town of Pitlochry, where you can rest and explore its picturesque streets before continuing. The return route will take you through Cairngorms National Park or the A9 road, offering a final glimpse of the Highlands’ enchanting scenery. Before arriving back in Edinburgh, you’ll cross the impressive Forth Bridges, where you can admire this architectural marvel that connects the north and south of Scotland.
