Mythical beasts, tall tales and dramatic scenery: explore the beauty of Scotland in a day on this one day coach tour.
Leaving from Edinburgh, we head northwest passing famous landmarks such as Linlithgow Palace: birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, the mystical Kelpies, and the dramatically perched Stirling Castle.
Continuing north we arrive in Glencoe for some photos of the dramatic ridges called the Three Sisters.
We stop in the Fort William area for lunch before heading into the natural beauty of the Great Glen as we pass Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis.
Heading further into the highlands we arrive in the small picturesque village of Fort Augustus - you can choose to take part in an optional boat cruise here.
The road home will be time to relax and take in the Highland scenery. Final refreshment stop is at the historic town of Pitlochry before continuing the journey home over the Firth of Forth alongside UNESCO Forth Rail Bridge enroute back into Edinburgh.

Anthony was our tour guide and made this an incredible experience and delightful trip to the Highlands and Lock Ness. Would recommend this trip.

Sad! I booked this tour only to go to Lochness, the road was curvy and a lady next to me got sick🤢. Almost there the road was closed due to an accident and we couldn't make it to Lochness. We had to turn arround, but we went to see Glenfinnan Viaduct.

Niel was an awesome driver/ tour guide. Very knowledgeable and actually had a great sense of humor. He went far above his call of duty. He did double duty, driving plus a tour guide. I would consider him an excellent staff member and Stewart should be happy they have him on board. Job well done Niel

Great day, our tour guide driver Keith was fantastic, kept us entertained throughout the long journey. We were lucky with weather, it was a nice sunny day and got to enjoy even more the beautiful scenery as we drove up to the highlands with plenty picture stops. Definitely worth doing this trip even though it’s a very long day.
