Description
Join our Glenfinnan tour departing from Inverness, traveling south along the stunning shores of Loch Ness. Our first stop is Urquhart Castle, where you can capture iconic photos with breathtaking views of Scotland's most famous loch and maybe even spot Nessie!
Next, we head to the highlight of the day: the Glenfinnan Viaduct. Surrounded by mountains along Loch Shiel, the Glenfinnan Monument commemorates the 1745 Jacobite Uprising. Spend about an hour learning about the Jacobites and snapping pictures of the famous bridge. This location, also known for its role in Harry Potter, features Loch Shiel—the setting for Buckbeak's flight and the Triwizard Tournament scenes.
From Glenfinnan, we continue west on the 'Road to the Isles' or 'Rathad nan Eilean,' renowned for its spectacular scenery, including sandy beaches, dramatic hills, and unforgettable sea views. Our journey leads us to Mallaig, a picturesque fishing port, where you can enjoy lunch and sample local seafood while taking in scenic views.
After Mallaig, we travel east to Loch Ness, stopping at Fort Augustus for refreshments with beautiful loch views. Our tour continues to the Falls of Foyers, a dramatic 140-foot waterfall winding through tall trees before meeting Loch Ness. Capture stunning photos here before heading to Dores Beach, the northern point of Loch Ness, which offers fantastic viewpoints for spotting Nessie!
Finally, we return to Inverness, concluding your memorable 1-day Glenfinnan tour.
