Learn about the mysteries and myths of Loch Ness, visit Scottish estuaries, and gaze at some of the most breathtaking scenery of the Scottish Highlands. Scotland is famed for its monstrous lake inhabitant and outstanding natural beauty; uncover both on this tour.

Leaving from Edinburgh, head north toward the Highlands on a comfortable coach. Ride over the Forth Bridges, with views of the red steel supports of the original Forth Bridge and make a quick stop at Taste Perthshire – a wonderful place for a refreshment stop and the chance to meet and feed Highland coo!

Delve further into the rugged wilderness as you reach Cairngorm National Park and soak up the views of dramatic, craggy cliffs and boggy, moss-covered hillsides. From the park, head to the banks of the infamous Loch Ness. Enjoy a break for lunch or opt to board a ferry boat* for a closer look at the mysterious waters that are purported to hide the mythical aquatic creature. Just up the road, enter the stunning beauty of Glen Coe’s steep, green hillsides. As you take in the sights, listen to your guide tell stories of the valley’s bloody history and the 17th century massacre of the MacDonald clan.

On your return to Edinburgh, see the medieval city of Stirling with its towering fairy-tale castle. Finish your tour with a solemn reflection at the William William Wallace Monument as your guide offers insightful commentary about the exploits of this adventurous legend who provided the inspiration for the film _Braveheart_as you drive by.
