Is this the ULTIMATE SCOTTISH TOUR?

So where does this tour take you?  we will see so much in a week that you will wonder how we do it?  Saying that, you will not be rushed so much that you do not get out of the vehicle! We know what we are doing and how to impress you - and believe me, this will impress you! Cost is not so important as the experience and this is just what you will get - an experience of a lifetime!

We will escort you from Glasgow, where we meet up, to Edinburgh, where we stay for the first night. Staying in our Capital, exploring the sights and sounds of this vibrant city, including a tour of the whisky centre next to the castle - and aye, you will also see the castle!

day two first stop is at Doune Castle just past Stirling (which we see on our right as we pass). For lovers of Monty Python this castle will not fail to surprise, it was where the filming took place for a memorable Python epic.  After our visit we head north again to Perth and one of Scotland's most hidden castles: Elcho. We drive through the scenic Scottish countryside and start the visit driving through a Scottish working farm. The castle itself is a wee gem. We continue north again through the city of Perth to Pitlochry where we visit Edradour, Scotland's smallest distillery, included in our tour is a free dram! Can you taker another castle? aye of course you can - not far north is the magnificent Blair Atholl Castle, once seen never forgotten. We draw the day to a close as we arrive in Inverness, check into our hotel overlooking the River Ness, relax and unwind. Dinner tonight at another favourite place - so much to eat and so little time to do so!

day three a morning visit to Culloden Battlefield and Clava Cairns, each steeped in its own history, Clava dating back over 5000 years. We then head out to Cawdor castle for a visit, before returning to Inverness for some leisure time. Tonight we have a whisky tasting session line up! More food tonight at the selected restaurant in town!

day four sees us heading west along the Great Glen - Loch Ness to you. A stop to visit Urquhart Castle our first port of call. From here we continue along the loch to Fort Augustus and Neptune's Staircase. A wee while longer and we stop at Spean Bridge for refreshments and a couple of drams! Have you seen Glencoe? well you will on this tour, as we drive through this our most infamous glen. Our day ends at Oban as we check into our accommodation overlooking the bay to Mull. Ah! the highlight of the seafood ... EE Usk restaurant, our absolute favourite west coast delight. See you there later.
