Highlights
- ✓An ideal tour for travelers who want to get a feel for the wilder side of Scotland
- ✓Stop whenever you like to enjoy the views and take photographs
- ✓Avoid the rush hour traffic and the crowds, and visit locations not usually seen by tour groups
- ✓Private tour—choose your own itinerary
What you'll see & do
- ✓Our first stop is the beautiful village of Luss nestled on the banks of Loch Lomond, overlooking the Ben Lomond munro. Apart from stunning views of Loch Lomond, Luss is a place steeped in history, and here you can find an extremely rare Viking Hogback gravestone. There's a couple of gift shops, toilet facilities and places for refreshments.
- ✓Your guide will stop at a convenient spot for photo opportunities of panoramic views of some of the western highland's beautiful scenery.
- ✓We will take you to Inveraray Castle, home to the Clan Chief of Clan Campbell - the Duke of Argyll. (Open Thursday to Monday and closed for winter from November to March.) Alternatively, you and your group will have the opportunity to explore Inveraray town, with stunning views of Loch Fyne.
- ✓Your guide will stop at a viewpoint for photo opportunities of this iconic 15th century castle. Unfortunately the castle is currently closed for conservation works.
- ✓St Conan’s Kirk is a hidden gem hidden on the shores of Loch Awe. It is an exceptional building featuring unique architectural features, enhanced by its surroundings, with a strong sense of peace and inherent spirituality.
- ✓Oban is know as the 'seafood capital of Scotland'. You will have the opportunity to explore the many cafes, gift shops and even the world-famous Oban Distillery. You can also visit McCaig's Tower, where you'll get some great views across Oban and it's surroundings.
- ✓We will take you to the Three Sisters of Glencoe, the most photographed place in Scotland, where you will be able to enjoy the awe-inspiring scenery and learn about the MacDonald Massacre during the Jacobite Uprisings. Your guide can also make additional photo stops along the valley if you wish.
- ✓Scenic drive through Rannoch Moor, the largest bog expanse in the British Isles. Your guide can stop at a vantage point for further photo opportunities of the panoramic scenery.
- ✓We will stop at the Falls of Falloch car park, which is a 5-10 minute walk to reach this beautiful waterfall. The path is a bit uneven and can get a bit muddy during/after spells of rain.
