Loch Ness discovery tour

Your day of adventure starts as you travel out of Edinburgh, driving past the historic city of Stirling and on to Glen Coe, that is broodingly beautiful and steeped in history. As you stand at the mouth of the glen, you’ll feel the past come to life as our guide tells you about the terrible massacre of the MacDonald Clan.

Your journey continues along the banks of Loch Linnhe to the charming town of Fort William, past Ben Nevis – Britain’s highest peak – and on up the Great Glen. As your tour heads north, you’ll pass a series of beautiful Lochs and will be able to enjoy some of Scotland’s most stunning scenery.

At the top of the Great Glen, you’ll get your first sight of Loch Ness - justly famous all over the world for its beauty and mystery. You’ll drive along the full length of the loch, where you will have the chance to take a thrilling ‘monster spotting’ boat trip* with views to Urquhart Castle (*optional extra subject to availability).

The northernmost point of your journey is Inverness, the capital of the Highlands. You’ll drive through this beautiful city and your driver will then turn south and take you through the breath-taking Spey Valley, allowing you to soak up the scenery on the way. As the day’s shadows lengthen, you can sit back and enjoy the homeward leg of your journey, which will take you past the majestic peaks of the Cairngorms, on through beautiful Perthshire, and back to Scotland’s capital.
