The day starts with a guided city tour of Edinburgh, one of Europe’s prettiest cities. Among the picture perfect scenes of the medieval old town and the fascinating attractions of the adjoining new town (250 years old!), we can comfortably discover the sightseeing highlights by our tour coach. Afterwards free time to explore the city on your own. In the late afternoon we have a invitation to the Malt Whisky Society. Dinner and overnight in Edinburgh.
This morning we head towards the highlands via Stirling and the Trossachs before arriving at the impressive Drummond Castle and its amazing gardens, which starred in the movie "Rob Roy". A visit to the nearby Innerfeffray Library is a must, Scotland’s oldest library. Lunch in the quaint village of Crieff. The afternoon brings us to the Western Highlands and into the real “movie Scotland” (Braveheart, Rob Roy and Highlander) with the open views of Rannoch Moor and the incomparable Glencoe. Dinner and overnight in Fort William.
Leaving Fort William, we take the beautiful „Road to the Isles“ via what is now called the Harry Potter viaduct to Mallaig, where a ferry takes us to the Isle of Skye. Admire the “Cuillin Hills”, often regarded as the most beautiful mountains in Great Britain. We have time for a guided tour of the famous Talisker Distillery before lunch in Portree, the islands main village. We drive over the second longest single span bridge in the world and arrive back in the mainland. Dinner and overnight in Gairloch.
Our first stop is at Eilean Donan Castle, the most photographed in Scotland. Continuing our route brings us to the Great Glen with the option of a boat ride on the famous Loch Ness. In Inverness we can visit the famous Woolen Mills – Pringles Weavers, home of traditional Scottish woolen products. Afterwards we continue to one of Scotland’s best preserved prehistoric sites. The atmosphere of the ancient tombs is unique. Dinner and overnight in Newtonmore.
Heading Eastwards we start along the world famous Malt Whisky Trail, in the Speyside Region. Our first visit is to a traditional cooperage, where sherry casks, used for whisky ageing, are prepared by hand. We follow this up with a visit to the Cardhu distillery. The scenery continues to amaze as we continue onwards to our final overnight in the highland town of Pitlochry. Dinner and overnight in Pitlochry.
