Highlights

Loch Ness - Our first stop will be overlooking the magnificent Loch Ness and the ruins of Urquhart Castle. We will stop here for about 10 - 15 mins for some photos and to learn about some of the amazing facts and legends that the loch is renowned for.
Corrimony Chambered Cairn - Before we reach Glen Affric, you will take a small detour to the 4,000 year old chambered burial cairn at Corrimony. This is one of the best preserved cairns on the mainland of Scotland, so a great opportunity to glimpse into the ancient past and learn about the culture and customs of these mysterious people.
Glen Affric National Nature Reserve - We then turn inland and on to what many people consider to be Scotland’s most beautiful glen - Glen Affric is home to some of Scotland’s original and ancient Pines, (known as granny Pines) as well as Red and Roe Deer, Ospreys, Squirrels and and a whole host of animal life. We will stay here for about 1 hour to allow you to take in the breathtaking scenery and take in one of the short walks along the river.
Plodda Falls - We will head back down the single track road and across to the other side of the glen to take in Plodda falls - Scotland’s 2nd tallest waterfalls, it is a short walk to the bottom, where, if you are feeling adventurous, you can jump in to the plunge pool for a swim!
Beauly Priory - Our next stop will be in Beauly where you will be able to explore this pretty village and it’s ruined priory, one of only 3 that we were built in Scotland.

Passion for Scotland Comes to Life! - Five out of five stars for Jaime Conner and his amazing tours! Jaime's genuine passion for Scotland shines through his captivating storytelling and extensive knowledge of history. Even the toughest critics, a 15-year-old girl and a 12-year-old, were thoroughly impressed! We packed two full days with unforgettable adventures, exploring Loch Ness, the Falls, and the breathtaking Isle of Skye. Bravo, Jaime, for making our trip truly extraordinary!
