Wester Ross Explorer

Sunday

A leisurely drive north to our overnight hotel - The Royal George Hotel,
Perth (3-star).

Monday

We continue north travelling via Pitlochry to the charming resort town of
Aviemore, surrounded by the stunning scenery of the Cairngorms. From here we
drive via Inverness to the spa town of Strathpeffer. In the afternoon we continue
deep into Wester Ross, arriving at our hotel, located on the shoreline of Gairloch
for our 4-night stay.

Tuesday

A short hop this morning with a local operator so your driver can have a
rest day, to Inverewe Gardens. A garden like no other with amazing species that
simply shouldn’t grow there! Lose yourself in this lush setting before exploring
Inverewe House, now an interactive museum. The remainder of the day is at
leisure in the pretty harbour town of Gairloch.

Wednesday

Today is an opportunity to sample part of the North Coast 500 route.
See the tiny sheep-inhabited Gruinard Island, with a grim past, to Little Loch Broom
and fantastic views of the Loch and An Tellach, the highest mountain in the area.
Heading on, passing the magnificent Corrieshalloch Gorge, known for its Victorian
suspension bridge, and Falls of Measach before arriving in Ullapool. A village
wrapped in stunning scenery; we include admission to the town museum.
Take time to wander here before delving into the local shops.

Thursday

A full day, exploring Wester Ross further. Head along Loch Maree, framed
by the Slioch and Beinn Eighe mountain ranges, to Achnasheen in the east of the
region. Here, join the train for a scenic trip to the Kyle of Lochalsh with
spectacular views and light glinting
off the waters of the many lochs.
Rejoining the coach, we pause for
photos at the picturesque Eilean
Donan Castle before returning via
lovely Loch Carron to our hotel

Friday

Departing Wester Ross we return
via Fort William and lonely Glencoe
before reaching the shoreline of Loch
Lomond and on to our final night at
the Riverside Lodge Hotel in Irvine.

Saturday
