Highland Heritage, Fort William

Tuesday

We travel North through the borders and Central Highlands to Fort William, and our base for 4-nights at the Imperial Hotel.

Wednesday

Our first stop is the Commando Monument overlooking Ben Nevis and Spean Bridge before continuing along the epic Great Glen, hugging the lochside for much of the way, with time free in Fort Augustus at the head of Loch Ness. Board the boat at Urquhart Castle for a cruise out on to the Loch Ness arriving at the Clansman Marina, where your coach awaits to take you to Inverness with free time, before returning to Fort William, along the Eastern shoreline of the Loch.

Thursday

The best of both worlds today! Not only will you be travelling on the most famous railway in the world- thanks to both Harry Potter and the amazing scenary along the 46-mile journey between Fort William and Mallaig. But also, be absorbed in the equally spectacular 'Road to the Isles' drive, stopping off at various vantage points along the way, such as Glenfinnan Viaduct. Loch Morar & Neptunes Staircase.

Friday

Today we enjoy a scenic lochside drive all the way to Oban, with time free in this bustling harbour town. Here you will see boats of all shapes and sizes plying their trade between the Hebridean Islands. After lunch, turn south for 12 miles to cross the 'Bridge O'er the Atlantic' and on to the pretty but small island of Seil. Time to roam the conversation village of Easdale, with its pretty whitewashed miners cottages surrounded by turquoise blue waters with sweeping views across to the outer Isles.

Saturday

Departing after breakfast we enjoy a leisurely drive through remote Glen Coe, then along the hsores of Loch Lomond to our overnight at the Westerwood Hotel in Cumbernauld (4-Star)

Sunday

After brekafast we head homeward, arriving during early evening.
