Highlights

Edinburgh - Inverness

National Wallace Monument - Discover the full story of the famous Battle of Stirling Bridge from the very spot where William Wallace observed the English army and devised his strategy.

Falls of Dochart - We’ll take a brief pause to recharge, and what better way than enjoying a coffee in front of the picturesque Dochart rapids.

Glencoe - A photo stop to admire Scotland’s most renowned and majestic valley, and to learn about the tragic fate of the MacDonald clan.

Before reaching here, we’ll traverse Europe’s most desolate wilderness.

Fort William - Next, we head to the Highlands’ second-largest town for lunch. You’ll have free time to savor Scottish cuisine.

Situated at the base of Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest peak, Fort William is a magnet for hikers and climbers.

Fort Augustus - Arriving at the southern shore of Loch Ness, we find Fort Augustus. This town boasts two iconic tourist attractions: the famous Loch Ness sign, perfect for a must-have photo, and the lock system built in 1822 by Thomas Telford.

Urquhart Castle - After leaving Fort Augustus, we’ll travel the 37 km length of the lake to Inverness, stopping at Urquhart Castle to admire its ruins and capture the perfect photo.

Inverness - We reach the Highland capital, where you’ll have the evening free to explore its streets, culture, and people. We’ll spend the night here.

Inverness - Edinburgh

Blair Athol Distillery - After a restful night and a hearty Scottish breakfast, we head to the Blair Athol distillery, crossing the heart of the Highlands. This distillery has been crafting whiskey since 1798.

Here, you’ll learn about the culture and history of whiskey and have the chance to taste it.

The visit is free, though there’s an option to pay for a tour of the fermentation and distillation rooms.

The Hermitage Woodland Walk - We venture into the Hermit Forest to enjoy fresh air and view the UK’s tallest trees. We’ll walk along the Braan River, culminating in a stunning waterfall.

Dunkeld - Dunkeld, one of Scotland’s most charming towns, became the capital in the 9th century. It was a target in the Jacobite wars and was destroyed by fire. Today, its main attraction is the ruins of its cathedral.

We’ll have time for lunch.

St. Andrews - Named after Scotland’s patron saint, this town is historically, culturally, and socially significant. St Andrews is home to the world’s third-oldest Anglo-Saxon university, where Prince William met Kate.

It was also the site of the Protestant Reformation led by Knox.

Additionally, St Andrews is the birthplace of golf, attracting thousands of golfers to its Old Course.

South Queensferry - Before returning to Edinburgh, we’ll stop in this quaint town to admire three engineering marvels: the Forth Bridges, especially the iconic railway bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1890.

Startling - We will definitely return to Tierras Altas with this exceptional guide. The trip was great and Jony's attention was exquisite. In autumn these lands have no competition in the world, the colors overwhelm you from the beginning.

THE TOUR I RECOMMEND! - The truth is that I was not wrong in choosing. A friend who had already traveled with them recommended it to me and I listened to her. Ours was two days. The van is super clean. They show you a lot of towns that you would not see on your own and they tell you many stories and curiosities. The traditions and festivals celebrated in Scotland also tell us about food. All without stress or rush. We will repeat because we are left wanting more.
