Oban, Mull and Iona
Three day/Two night tour from £245.00
The west coast of Scotland is famed for its rugged mountains, picturesque loch-side vistas and historic castles. The itinerary of this pleasing three-day tour features some of our finest lochs and glens as well as a memorable excursion to the islands of Mull and Iona.
Day One
Day Two
After breakfast we’ll join the ferry for the short sail to the Island of Mull (40 mins). We will arrive in the port of Craignure where our coach is waiting. The tour of Mull takes us to Glen More and along the banks of Loch Scridain to Fionnphort, where we join the ferry for Iona. It was here in 563 that St Columba landed to found a monastery and bring Christianity to Scotland. Many early Scottish Kings are buried here, including Macbeth. The sense of peace and history that pervades the island will remain with us as we retrace our steps to Oban.
Day Three
After a relaxed breakfast enjoy some time in Oban before joining your motorcoach for the journey south. We travel to Kilchurn Castle, which stands guard at the head of Loch Awe before making our way to Inveraray. A pretty town that was built by the Duke of Argyll on the banks of Loch Fyne, Inveraray exudes 18th Century charm, as we will discover. A scenic drive from Loch Fyne brings us to the Argyll Forest Park and the dramatic “Rest and be Thankful” mountain pass before reaching the gentle shores of Loch Lomond once again. We return to Edinburgh via Glasgow.
