From Edinburgh, this tour heads towards Stirling, catching views of the Castle and The Wallace Monument, and then proceeds northwards into the Highlands. Through Callander and on over Rannoch Moor to the dark brooding Pass of Glen Coe.
After crossing Loch Leven at Ballachulish we stop for lunch in the Fort William area, then follow the course of the Caledonian Canal up the Great Glen to Fort Augustus on Loch Ness. At Drumnadrochit, we will have the opportunity to visit the Loch Ness Exhibition Centre, or take an optional sail on the waters of Loch Ness.
Then on around Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, where we turn to head south driving through the Cairngorms and then over the Drumochter Pass, alongside the Perth to Inverness railway, the highest point on any railway in Britain.
Descending through Glen Garry and the Forest of Atholl, we will catch a quick but magnificent view of Blair Castle before making a stop in picturesque Pitlochry.
Journeying past Perth, the Ancient Capital of Scotland, and through the Kingdom of Fife, we will cross the Forth Road Bridge viewing the magnificent Forth Railway Bridge before arriving back in Edinburgh with a million memories.
Gray Line offers a courtesy collection service from many of Edinburghs Hotels and Guest Houses.
