- Tyndrum - We then make our way to the charming village of Tyndrum (70min drive), which lies at the southern edge of Rannoch Moor.
- Kilchurn Castle - Marvel at the imposing ruins of Kilchurn Castle (20min drive). Known originally as the stronghold of Clan Campbell, today the castle sits peacefully by Loch Awe and is the perfect spot to pause and snap a few pics. Photo stop only.
- Inveraray - Inveraray is perhaps best-known for Inveraray Jail, a former prison that is now a tourist attraction. Choose to take part in an optional tour there, and make the most of your lunch break by visiting the charming village itself which boasts gorgeous views of Loch Fyne.
- Rest and be Thankful - On the return leg we stop at one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the world, coined the “Rest and Be Thankful”. This is your last chance to soak up the mountains before we return to the city, so make sure to soak it all in.
