The Route

The Highlights


Day 1: Edinburgh to Lewiston, near Loch Ness


Starting the day with great views from the Forth Road Bridge, we make our way north to walk in the Hermitage Forest in Perthshire with mature forest and waterfalls. After exploring the Pass of Killiekrankie near Pitlochtry where the Jacobite Rebellion began, we'll wind our way through the stunning mountain scenery before arriving on the banks of Loch Ness for a spot of monster hunting.
Our base for tonight is the Loch Ness Backpackers in Lewiston, a great wee hostel within walking distance of a few lively local pubs as well as the infamous shores of Loch Ness!

Day 2: Lewiston to Uig

This morning we'll enjoy a superb seafood and seal cruise. Afterwards it's 'over the sea' to Skye for a laid back day exploring this world famous Scottish Island! Lots of short walks, history, myths and folklore will fill your day with wonder as we explore the best of this truly magical island. Tonight we spend in Uig on the far northern tip of the Isle of Skye. There'll be time for a wee local beer in a wee local pub this evening!


Day 3: Uig to Spean Bridge


This morning we slowly make our way to the South of the Island to catch the ferry back to the mainland. With a chance to catch a glimpse of a dolphin or perhaps some seals with an outstanding mountain background, it's a stunning journey! This afternoon we'll explore the white sands of Morar and Arisaig, perfect for a game of football, before enjoying a short walk in Glenfinnan to take in Loch Sheil, the Jacobean history and, of course, the viaduct from Harry Potter's Hogwarts Express!! This evening we stay at Ranalds Rest. On the banks of Loch Lochy, it's the perfect spot for a BBQ in the Highland atmosphere.


Day 4: Spean Bridge to Edinburgh

Today is a superbly relaxed day making our way slowly back to Edinburgh. With great walks in Glen Nevis and Glencoe to waterfalls and viewpoints, amazing history with William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, not to mention Rob Roy and the Glencoe Massacre plus a visit to the adorable Hamish, it will leave you with the best memories of Scotland!

We will return to Edinburgh at about 6:30pm.
