DAY TRIP TO LOCH NESS FROM EDINBURGH

Loch Lubnaig: after crossing the geological boundary that separates the Highlands from the Lowlands we will stop at this loch where we will have the opportunity to establish a first contact with the nature that the Highlands hide.

Trossachs: heading north we see how the landscape changes and we are surrounded by mountains and lochs where we will stop to immortalise these beautiful landscapes. To the north of the national park and before reaching Glen Coe, we cross one of the largest expanses of wilderness in Europe, Rannoch Moor, and from there we can see the emblematic Ballachulish mountain that marks the entrance to the valley of Glen Coe.

Glen Coe: probably Scotland's best known valley for both its beauty and its grey past. Soak up the nature and hear the history of this valley from our guide. This wonderful place, once home to the McDonald clan, is actually a volcanic caldera shaped by several glaciers.

Fort William: 15 minutes from Glen Coe, we will drive through Fort William, situated at the foot of the highest mountain in the United Kingdom, Ben Nevis, at 1,345 metres.

Fort Augustus: Fort Augustus is a pretty village on the shores of Loch Ness. Here we will stop for lunch. There are several restaurants where you can enjoy traditional Scottish food or, if you prefer, there are plenty of places to picnic on the shores of Loch Ness. You can also enjoy the working Caledonian Canal, an 1822 engineering feat by the Scotsman Thomas Telford.

Loch Ness: It's time to meet Nessie! Behold the majesty of this place that hides so many mysteries and legends. Its size, its colour, its depth... come and discover the most famous lake in the world and find out why; it won't leave you indifferent (*Optional cruise).

Urquhart Castle (Loch Ness): This ruined castle on the shores of Loch Ness is over a thousand years old and is undoubtedly the most beautiful spot to admire the loch.

Inverness: Capital of the Highlands, this is a must-see on a trip to the north. Enjoy this beautiful city by strolling through its streets and discovering its people, and try the Highlander diet (*Food not included).

Dunkeld: We stop off in a charming little village considered to be the first capital of Scotland. Today it rests tucked away in the woods on the other side of the River Tay. It's the perfect opportunity to get a good taste in your mouth with the icing on the cake. Wandering the streets or sipping a whisky by the river are memories travellers will always cherish.
