What To Expect
Loch Ness
As we leave Inverness behind, the Highlands’ most famous waters appear: Loch Ness. We’ll hug the shoreline while your guide brings the legend to life—tales of sightings, science, and a sprinkle of mischief—eyes peeled for her!
Eilean Donan Castle
Our first stop is at the iconic Eilean Donan Castle. This castle is instantly recognisable the world-over as it has featured in many films and innumerable Scottish souvenirs! We will stop at our favourite vantage point here to enable you to take some photos and admire the majestic beauty of this iconic sight in its wonderful coastal location. Please note that there will NOT be an opportunity to visit the castle.

5.00In the fall dress warm. Maybe bring an umbrella. In July and August be aware of invisible pesty nats that will eat you alive. It’s a long day from Inverness but well worth viewing God’s creation. Superb bus driver with lots of great stories.
