Five unforgettable

Then north into the

the shores of Loch
Lomond and then
across the Rannoch
Moor into the
unforgettable Glen
Coe. Up the west
coast to Fort
William, through Glen
Shiel, stopping at
Eilean Donan Castle,
before heading over
the sea to Skye.
Day
Two
Isle of Skye: Steeped
in a rich and
turbulent history,
full of romance and
rebellion, the
ancient Isle of Skye
isn't a place, its an
intoxication. Our
tour of the island
takes you through the
overpowering beauty
of the Cuillin
Mountains, the
Quiraing, the Old Man
of Storr and the
enchanted Faerie
Glen. An experience
of life affirming
proportions is
guaranteed.

Monster Spotting: We
take a whole day to
explore and enjoy the
dark and mysterious
Loch Ness. Into Fort
Augustus and then on
to Glen Affric and
the last remnants of
the ancient, great
Forest of Caledon. An
optional extra on
this day of the tour

at the Great Glen
Water Park, giving
you the chance to do
a whole range of
activities - anything
from white water
rafting to mountain
biking.
