Summer schedule (April - October) - Please scroll down for winter schedule

Departs Edinburgh Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays

A tranquil country road in summer

Day 1 - We head north out of Edinburgh, over the Forth Bridge to our first stop - an enchanting woodland and waterfall walk. Then we stop at Edradour Distillery for a complimentary tour of the distillery, complete with free Whisky. Through Pitlochry, a highland village and on to Ruthven Barracks, an imposing early 18th century ruined fortress, deep in the Grampian Mountains. We stop again at Culloden, an eerie battlefield and the virtually untouched site of the Highlander's last stand. Then it's off to Loch Ness where we indulge in a little Monster hunting, before we pull into Inverness , the capital of the Highlands, for the night.

Day 2 - First stop is Rogie Falls for a forest walk to the waterfall where salmon leap (in season). On to Loch Carron, by the Achnasheen road, in the remote Highlands of Wester Ross, before stopping at the Kyle of Lochalsh. From there we visit the picturesque Eilean Donan Castle, as seen in the movie 'Highlander'. We will visit Glen Shiel/Glen Garry and the unforgettable Glen Coe, experiencing the majestic scenery and mystery of these areas before our stop at Oban.

Day 3 - From Oban our first stop is Glen Lonan for a Hairy Coo Safari. On to St Conan's Kirk, the eccentric chapel on the shore of Loch Awe. We visit Kilchurn Castle, the ghostly ruin of a Campbell stronghold then through Glen Orchy. After our stop at Loch Lomond we visit the Kelvin Grove Art Gallery. Our next stop is in Glasgow and finally to Edinburgh , the capital of Scotland, for a well deserved break
