Description

Leaving the bustle of Glasgow behind, we head towards Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. The flat terrain of the Lowlands soon gives way to rugged peaks, forested glens, and the vast, shimmering expanse of Loch Lomond. Framed by majestic mountains and dotted with over 30 islands, this iconic loch has inspired poets and songwriters for centuries. Our first stop is a Highland village on the banks of Loch Lomond, where you can take in the quaint houses and stunning views across the loch. Be sure to look out for the towering peak of Ben Lomond. As we continue west, the scenery grows more dramatic as we navigate through the steep-sided Arrochar Alps, stopping at the 'Rest and Be Thankful' viewpoint before reaching Inveraray. This charming town, set on the shores of Loch Fyne, is known for its picturesque setting and Georgian architecture. Stroll through its quaint streets lined with whitewashed buildings, explore the harbour, or catch a glimpse of Inveraray Castle. Next, we follow the shore of Loch Awe, Scotland's longest loch, for a photo stop at Kilchurn Castle - a stunning ruin set in the middle of the loch and once the home of the Campbells of Breadalbane. Our journey continues to Oban, Gateway to the Isles, for lunch of your choice. Once the strategic heartland of powerful, feuding clans, the town is now renowned for its fresh seafood straight off the boats. Afterward, we head north, passing Castle Stalker on our way to the stunning Glencoe. Known for its dramatic slopes and rich history, Glencoe has been featured in numerous films. You'll have time for photos and to learn about the tragic events that unfolded in this valley over 300 years ago. Next, we traverse the wild and remote Rannoch Moor, surrounded by breath-taking Highland scenery, before reaching Inveruglas on the western shore of Loch Lomond. After a short break, we continue through the picturesque landscapes of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, famous for the beloved Scottish folk song and for the legendary outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor. Gradually, the rugged mountain peaks and forested glens of the Highlands give way to the flat, fertile plains of the Lowlands, bringing us back to Glasgow.
