We head north to learn about the culture, history and nature of the Highlands.

Once in Highlands territory we make our first stop at the Hermitage Forest to walk among the tallest trees in the UK and along the Braan River that will lead us to its waterfalls.
After the walk we move to the Victorian town of Pitlochry where we will learn about the culture of this country in one of the most beautiful whisky distilleries in Scotland.
We continue to go up north to Inverness where we will have the opportunity to visit its city centre and look for a place to charge our batteries. Free time.
After lunch, we will continue towards one of the most famous lakes in the world - Loch Ness, where we will make up to three stops along the loch. And who knows, if luck is on our side, we might even get to see Nessie!
We continue our journey towards the west coast through one of the most spectacular valleys in Scotland - Glenshiel, that will lead us to our final destination.
In the evening, we will arrive at the fishing village of Plockton, one of the hidden jewels of the Highlands and where we will spend the two nights of the circuit.

The Haven Hotel will be our accommodation during the tour. #web https://www.thehavenplockton.co.uk/

Without a doubt, a unique day to remember. 

The day will be spent discovering the Isle of Skye and its wild nature. We will visit the magical places of the island and get to know the most dramatic landscapes of Skye. We will get in direct contact with nature through the programmed treks that will take us to explore places like the Old Man of Storr, the Quiraing and the Neist Point.
We will learn about the island's culture and review its history.

Portree, the Kilt Rock, Uig and the Cuillins are other places that we will be able to know during the tour inside the island.

We will return to the fishing village of Plockton where we will be able to take a well-deserved hot shower as well as taste the gastronomy of the Highlands.




Day 3 : Eilean Donan Castle - Glen Coe - Stirling (William Wallace) - Kelpies.

We have a full day ahead of us.

The first stop will be at Eilean Donan Castle. Its location and its leading role in numerous films make this castle one of the most desired by travelers.
Then we move to GlenCoe through Fort William and the Ben Nevis. GlenCoe is known for its natural beauty and dark past.
In Killin by the Falls of Dochart we will taste the local cuisine.
An exciting evening ahead of us will be a highlight. We will arrive at Stirling to go up the Abbey Hill where the tower monument to William Wallace is located. We will go over the history of the national hero who managed to defeat Edward I's English army for the first time. 
We approach the Stirling citadel before making the last stop at the Kelpies, tremendous sculptures that leave no one indifferent.

We returned to Edinburgh around 8pm. We hope you enjoyed the trip. It was a pleasure to have you with us.
