1 day Loch Ness, Glencoe & The Highlands (Glasgow) by Timberbush Tours

Tour Itinerary

From Glasgow we travel north, before

making a coffee stop on the shores

of Loch Lomond. Travelling the length

of the loch, we climb up into the

Highlands, over the unique, desolate

landscape of RannochMoor and the

BlackMount to majestic Glencoe,

one of Scotland's best-loved glens,

site of the 1692 massacre of the

MacDonald clan.

We stop in the FortWilliam area for

lunch and then afterwards 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 is over 700 feet deep

but is of course better-known for

its sightings of the Loch Ness

monster, affectionately called

"Nessie". Spend approximately two

hours at Loch Ness, where you can

choose to take a wonderful 5 Star

Jacobite 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 Glasgow.
