From Edinburgh we travel northwest,
passing the imposing Stirling
Castle, before making our first stop
at Kilmahog.We travel on through
Rob Roy Country of Clans
MacGregor and Campbell then over
the desolate landscape of Rannoch
Moor and the BlackMount to
Glencoe, one of Scotland's most
famous glens, site of the 1692
massacre of the Clan MacDonald.
Continuing via Loch Linnhe, we stop
in the FortWilliam area for lunch
then continue into the natural
beauty of the Great Glen as we pass
beneath Britain's highest mountain,
Ben Nevis. Travelling on, we admire
the Caledonian Canal and the pretty
village of Fort Augustus, enjoying
spectacular views of Loch Ness as
we drive along the 24-mile shoreline
to Urquhart Castle.
Loch Ness, 24 miles long and over
700 feet deep, is more famous for
its sightings of the Loch Ness
monster, affectionately known as
"Nessie". Spend approximately 2
hours at Loch Ness, where you can
choose to take a wonderful Jacobite
loch cruise and explore the ruins
of Urquhart Castle and its modern
visitor centre.
At Inverness, Capital of the
Highlands, we start our return
for home, crossing the Grampian
Mountains and the woodland
scenery of Perthshire, including
the Forest of Atholl, with an evening
stop at the Victorian resort town
of Pitlochry, en route back to
Edinburgh.
