Scottish Wilderness

3 DAY TOUR

Enjoy getting close to some of Scotland’s locals including seals, puffins and hairy Highland cows on this superb tour.

 

Day One

Start the day by making your way towards Rannoch Moor and into famous Glencoe. You will be awestruck by the beauty of this place. Hopefully there will be views of Ben Nevis as you tour through the Great Glen which culminates with a scenic drive along the banks of Loch Ness, keep a close watch in case “you know who” makes an appearance! Shortly you will arrive in Inverness, home for the next two nights. The stay in Inverness is unescorted.

 

Day Two

Gathering GraphicLeave Inverness and head across the Black Isle to the Cromarty Firth where, depending on tide conditions, you may glimpse seals. Make a stop in the town of Golspie. High above the town is an astonishing statue, 27m (90') high. This is of the First Duke of Sutherland, whose agents were involved in the most notorious of the Clearances in the Highlands during the 19th century. We’ll hear more about this sad episode in the history of Scotland as we head North.

Caithness grew rich with the development of the herring fishing in the 19th century and as a result there are many exceptionally beautiful harbours - as you will discover. There are telescopes available on-board our minicoach to let you marvel at the wide range of birds & wildlife including Puffins (until early August) and red deer (the "Monarch of the Glen"), which are seen on almost all tours. There are several stops along the way to give you ample opportunity to relax and take a stroll amidst this beautiful scenery.

 

Day Three

This morning there is an excursion to nearby Muir of Ord, where you can visit a malt whisky distillery. Later there is free time in Inverness for individual sightseeing or shopping before you rejoin the coach for a spectacular drive through the Highlands. From the Spey Valley and the Cairngorm Mountains. Travel through Glengarry to the pretty victorian resort of Pitlochry. After a short break, make your way through the gentle rolling countryside towards Perth then onwards to Edinburgh.
