Loch Ness, Glencoe & the Highlands from Glasgow

You will travel towards the Highlands along the “bonnie, bonnie” banks of Loch Lomond. This is Scotland’s largest loch and it takes its name from the mountain, Ben Lomond, on the eastern shore.

You will cross the ancient natural fault line that runs across Scotland and venture into the majestic Highlands where the scenery changes dramatically. The flat plains of the lowlands transform into shimmering lochs, rugged mountains and forest-filled glens. Travelling north through Breadalbane (meaning the “High Country of Scotland”, you climb towards Rannoch Moor.

You then head down to Scotland’s most famous valley, Glencoe, where you’ll be mesmerised by the beautiful cliff faces and steep slopes. After Glencoe, you will enter a deep glacial valley, known as the Great Glen.

Passing through the town of Fort William you will travel under Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, before arriving at Fort Augustus on the shore of Loch Ness. The stop here is one hour long to give you time for lunch. A one hour cruise on the loch follows after lunch, this is your best chance to spot the monster and enjoy the beauty of this mysterious loch.

From Loch Ness, you will head south through the mountains of the Cairngorms National Park and continue south through the forests of Perthshire before arriving back in Glasgow.
