3-day Skye & Inverness
Description
Loch Ness, Skye Adventure and Eilean Donan Castle. Skye: "The Misty Isle" is our best kept secret and is one of Scotland's most breathtaking retreats. This tour departs from Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Day 1
A Spectacular Route North...
We'll depart Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh, or its largest city, Glasgow, and begin the journey north. Our route to Skye takes you through the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. We'll stop in a picturesque village where you can relax over a cup of coffee or explore at your leisure. You’ll get stunning views of Loch Lomond.
Cross the brooding expanse of Rannoch Moor and journey through Glen Coe...
Learn the brutal story of the MacDonald Clan massacre and take in the waterfalls that inhabit this incredible glen.
Fort William for lunch and Britain’s tallest mountain...
This Highland town marks the end of the West Highland Way. There is a resting hiker statue looking out over Loch Linnhe. You can also take in views of Ben Nevis, the UK's tallest peak.
Overnight: Inverness
Day 2
The Incredible Isle of Skye...
Enjoy a full day exploring the Isle of Skye. Your guide will ensure you get the most out of your day and enjoy sights such as the Cuillin Mountains. The sharp peaks rise up from the surrounding terrain and dominate the island’s landscape.
Lunch in the colourful town of Portree...
Portree is your lunchtime stop, where you can enjoy fish and chips next to the harbour — watch out for the seagulls!
Experience Skye’s dramatic landscapes…
We will explore the Trotternish Peninsula, home to some of Scotland’s most striking scenery. We stop for photographs at Kilt Rock, Mealt Waterfall and The Old Man of Storr.
Overnight: Inverness
Day 3
A morning of Nessie spotting...
We’ll say goodbye to Skye and begin our day by visiting Loch Ness. You can hop on a Jacobite Cruise* to search for Nessie. Loch Ness is deep and filled with peat deposits, making it perfect for hiding a monster.
Explore the famous battlefield of Culloden...
Our next stop is Culloden battlefield, site of the last stand of the Jacobites on 16 April 1746. The visitor centre and exhibition tell the full story.
Wander the picturesque Highland town of Pitlochry...
