About this tour
A five-day tour through Scotland's most dramatic landscapes, departing from Edinburgh. Travel in a small group of up to 16 to encounter the Highlands' castle ruins, lochs, and mountain vistas. You'll visit Loch Lomond's settlements, Glencoe's wild moorlands, the Isle of Skye's distinctive peaks, and the shores of Loch Ness.

What to expect
Five days of coach travel punctuated by guided walks across moorland, glen, and castle grounds. Days begin early and finish late as the itinerary covers significant distances through remote terrain. You'll disembark frequently for short excursions—some steep, others gentler—to viewpoints and historic sites. Most locations require separate admission fees (castles, cruises, distillery tours). Facilities vary; Oban and other villages offer shops and cafés, but rural stops may have limited amenities. Weather changes rapidly; pack layers and waterproofs.
Good to know
Small group size (max 16) allows flexibility on stops and pace. Many attractions charge entry separately; budget accordingly. Mobility note: terrain includes uneven ground and hills unsuitable for wheelchair users. Public transport exists nearby if you prefer independent travel between stops. Gratuities and meals aren't included.
