Itinerary
Day 1: Edinburgh
Royal mile, old Castle, home of the brave, Edinburgh is going to turn it on from start to end. With days of adventure up ahead, go out in search of haggis, a whisky bar and join the jolly locals before meeting up with the crew tonight, in anticipation of the good times that are yet to come.
Stay: Ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge (or similar)
Day 2: Edinburgh
Today is yours to roam free - but if you want to get the low down on the history of this city why not join our local guide for an optional tour of Edinburgh Castle (which is resting on an extinct volcano!!) to kickstart your love affair with this city. Or maybe you'll do a spot of tartan shopping on Princes Street or indulge in some whisky tasting.
Stay: Ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge (or similar)
Included Meals: Breakfast
Day 3: Edinburgh to Scottish Highlands
Edinburgh
It's time to blaze a trail out of Edinburgh & head for Inverness.
St. Andrews
On the way to the main affair of the day we'll stop by St. Andrews, the birthplace of golf, would you believe? As well as Scotland’s oldest university town.
Stirling
We make a stop in Stirling, known for its famous Castle nestled right on a hill, and the town where William Wallace took on the English and yelled "Freeeedom!"
Inverness
Already blown away by the beauty of the rugged mountain scenery en route, we'll arrive in Inverness amped up for mystical tales.
Stay: Columba Hotel Inverness (or similar)
Included Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 4: Scottish Highlands to Glasgow via Loch Ness
Inverness
We might be coming down from a high (geographically speaking) this morning, but as we seek out the stunning Loch Ness, the mood will only be rising.
Loch Ness
We'll stop to see lovely Loch Ness, the most voluminous lake in the UK - containing more water than all the lakes of England and Wales combined! It's also rumoured to contain something else, something far more legendary which you're sure to have heard of...
Aviemore
We'll also check out Aviemore, a picturesque jewel in the Cairngorms' crown - home to lochs, mountain trails and plenty of panoramic views.
Inverness
With breath-taking scenery still in mind, today's sights will leave you more than content with your day's discoveries.
Stay: Columba Hotel Inverness (or similar)
Included Meals: Breakfast
Day 5: Glasgow
Inverness
After a few days of remote and rugged goodness, a change of pace in Scotland's biggest city is sure to fire things up a notch.
Dundreggan
Small pitstop! We'll check out the lush, hilly rewilding centre here to learn about how Scotland's native animal species are reintroduced into the wild. Plus, you have the option afterwards to canoe across the stunning southern end of Scotland's most famous lake and see even more wildlife along the way.
Glasgow
Get involved with everything great about Glasgow. Live music on every corner, a gothic cathedral & plenty of quirky characters make this city unique. Plus, you've got the option to dine on a wholesome, home-cooked meal for a truly local Glaswegian experience.
Accommodation: Ibis Glasgow City Centre Sauchiehall Street Hotel (or similar)
Included Meals: Breakfast
Day 6: Glasgow
