Day One
Day Two
Today we enjoy the highlight of our tour - a full day excursion to the beautiful island of Skye. We'll make a stop at Eilean Donan Castle perched on its island at the head of Loch Duich. You will marvel at the views when we stop at this most picturesque of castles. Soon we'll be crossing "over the sea to Skye" and driving in the shadow of the towering Cuiliin Hills to Portree, a picuutresque fishing port which is the island's main town. After free time we will return to the maninland and meander our way back to Inverness.
Day Three
This morning there is an excursion through the Black Isle to the picturesque village of Cromarty. Later there is free time in Inverness for individual sightseeing or shopping before we join our motorcoach for a spectacular drive south through the Highlands. From the Spey Valley and the Cairngorm Mountains we travel through Glen Garry to enjoy scenic views of picturesque Blair Castle. After a break we’ll make our way through the gentle rolling countryside towards Perth then onwards to Edinburgh.
