• Callander - For those opting for the Boat Cruise, the first stop will be in Callander, known as “The Gateway to the Highlands.” Situated at the base of the Trossachs, Callander provides ample opportunities for guests to gather refreshments, purchase gifts, and enjoy views of the Trossachs.

Please note that during the summer, one coach per day will take an alternative route for a comfort stop due to limited opening hours in Callander.

• Deanston Distillery & Visitor Centre - Passengers choosing the Whisky Distillery Option will start their journey with a visit to Deanston Distillery instead of Callander. Located in a former cotton mill on the banks of the River Teith, the distillery offers a selection of premium single malt whiskies.

Enjoy an optional guided tour of the distillery (tickets not included), where you’ll discover the traditional whisky-making process and the history of this unique location. Conclude with a tasting of Deanston’s finest malts, guided by an expert who will explain the distinct flavors and characteristics of their whiskies.

Please note that the minimum age for the distillery tour is 8.

• Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park - As we enter the ‘Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park,’ our bus navigates through hills, mountains, and Glens. These remote areas were once home to Highland Clans, including Scotland’s famous outlaw, Rob Roy MacGregor, often likened to The Scottish Robin Hood. Look across the landscape and imagine the past as your guide shares remarkable tales of betrayal and revenge.
• Fort William - The tour continues through Fort William, passing the magnificent Ben Nevis, the tallest mountain in the British Isles. The Nevis Range looms over the winding road as the journey proceeds to Loch Ness.
• Glencoe - We pause for a brief visit to Glencoe, the site of one of Scotland’s most infamous massacres. As you gaze at the haunting hills, the Glen is eerily silent. In the 17th century, a significant act of betrayal occurred here. Your guide will recount the details of this betrayal. You can almost feel the sorrow in the mountains of the ‘weeping valley.’ Above all, Glencoe is one of Scotland’s most stunning landscapes, a highlight of any tour to the Scottish Highlands!
• Loch Ness - Cruise & Castle version: Arrive at the north bank of Loch Ness. Join an optional cruise and castle visit. Disembark at Urquhart Castle to explore these magnificent ruins. Please note that this version will not stop at Fort Augustus.

Boat Cruise and Whisky Distillery versions: We arrive in Fort Augustus, a charming Highland village on the southern shores of the loch. If you booked the Boat Cruise Option, you will have the opportunity to take a 1-hour cruise on the loch with our friends at Cruise Loch Ness.

Those not joining the optional cruise and those on the Whisky Distillery version will have time to explore the village and the beautiful Caledonian Canal, which descends through the heart of the village into Loch Ness. Walk further along the canal and, if time permits, into the surrounding countryside to enjoy mountainous views.
The Whisky Distillery option will have a shorter stop in Fort Augustus, approximately 45-60 minutes.

• Commando Monument - Along the route, we’ll stop at the Commando Memorial. In 1942, this location became the training ground for Britain’s Special Forces. Harsh, unforgiving, and breathtakingly beautiful. A statue of our heroes overlooks the Nevis range. Bring a camera – this is undoubtedly one of our favorite photo-stops in all of Scotland.

Here, weather permitting, you might also spot Ben Nevis, the tallest mountain in the United Kingdom.

• Cairngorms National Park - Heading south, we travel through the Cairngorm National Park, where red squirrels, roe deer, red deer, soaring buzzards, pine martens, golden eagles, and ospreys can be found. Our final stop of the day is Pitlochry.
• Pitlochry - On our way south, we stop by the town of Pitlochry to stretch our legs and enjoy the fresh air. This picturesque town is situated in the heart of the stunning scenery of Highland Perthshire. It sits below Beinn Bhracaigh (Ben Vrackie), the speckled mountain, and beside the River Tummel, in some of the most magnificent scenery in Scotland. With a backdrop of surrounding hills and beautiful woodlands, it is wonderful walking country.
• Forth Bridge - As we re-enter Edinburgh from the north, you will be greeted with views of Scotland’s greatest piece of engineering, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Forth Bridge. This 19th-century engineering marvel was once the world’s longest cantilever bridge. Today, it neighbors the 20th-century Forth Road Bridge and the 21st-century Queensferry Crossing, which opened in 2017. Three spectacular bridges, from three different centuries, span the Firth of Forth, connecting our capital city and the Kingdom of Fife.
• Edinburgh - We drop you off in the city center, with an estimated arrival time of 8:30 PM. Please note that during the winter season, we may arrive earlier than estimated.

We recommend allowing 2 hours between the expected arrival time and any onward travel or reservations in case of delays, as we are unable to offer individual drop-offs.
