The battles, beauty, and whisky: This is your perfect introduction to Scotland.

You shed a tear as you hear the tales and tragedies of Scotland’s Jacobite Rising at the Culloden Battlefield. You try to take your best photo as you pass by Scotland’s famous mountains and castles. And you lick your lips as you drink in the spirit of Scottish whisky in Dufftown, ‘the Whisky Capital of the World’.

What’s more, you get as close as possible to the legendary Loch Ness Monster on an optional boat trip.

So, take this trip and enjoy the best of Scotland in a day.

    A full on day trip that covers so many different places- far more than expected. The scenery changes from high mountain passes to loch side and is absolutely stunning. The cruise on Loch Ness was the icing on the cake
