Itinerary

Mountains, Glens & The Loch Ness Monster

Leaving the city buzz of Glasgow behind, our Loch Ness tour first heads north into Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, a land of lochs, legends, and eye-popping scenery. From there, it’s straight into the Highlands, with a stop at Glen Coe, famous for its dramatic peaks and haunting past.

As we venture further north, you'll catch stunning views of the Commando Monument and the Nevis Range, with a glimpse of the mighty Ben Nevis — the tallest mountain in the UK. Next, we head to Fort Augustus, a charming village on the banks of Loch Ness. Here, you can hop on an optional boat cruise to try your luck spotting Nessie, or just relax along the Caledonian Canal.

On the way back, we’ll take you through the rugged beauty of Cairngorms National Park, wrapping up an unforgettable day before heading back to Glasgow in the evening.
