1 Day Scottish Highlands & Loch Ness

Discover Loch Ness with an optional boat tour, plus explore Glen Coe and the stunning Highlands.

ITINERARY

Start your day with a scenic drive through Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, where you’ll soak up views of Scotland’s first national park and the legendary landscapes that inspired tales of Rob Roy. 

Next, venture into the dramatic Highlands, with a stop at the hauntingly beautiful Glen Coe, known for its towering peaks and tragic history. 

As we travel further north, enjoy stunning views of the Commando Monument and the Nevis Range, home to Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis. 

 Arriving in the charming village of Fort Augustus, you’ll have time to explore the banks of Loch Ness. Keep an eye out for Nessie on an optional boat cruise, or simply unwind along the Caledonian Canal. 

The journey continues through the rugged beauty of Cairngorms National Park, before heading back south, returning to Glasgow in the evening. 

Free small packed lunch

Enjoy our locally produced small packed lunch in Fort Augustus. Typical lunch includes: a choice of freshly made sandwiches, crisps and shortbread. Take your lunch on the boat or enjoy a picnic by the canal or banks of Loch Ness.
