Itinerary
Name: Day 1: Edinburgh to Portree
Short Description: Bid farewell to Edinburgh in the morning and drive past Stirling Castle, perching majestically atop its rocky throne. We enjoy a wee break in the charming Highland village of Callander before diving headfirst into the untamed Rannoch Moor—a peat-covered plateau hailed as the last remaining wilderness in Britain. Next on our list is one of the most famous glens of the Scottish Highlands: Glen Coe, with its rugged peaks that stand guard over the glen and its winding streams. We make our way to Fort William, where you'll board the legendary Jacobite Steam Train* AKA Hogwarts Express for a magical two-hour ride along the stunning West Coast. As you traverse the epic Glenfinnan Viaduct, you'll quickly see why the Jacobite Steam Train earns its title as the finest rail adventure on Earth. Our day continues with a scenic ferry trip* to the renowned Isle of Skye, where you’ll hear about ancient tales of faerie folk. Your home for the next two of nights is the vibrant town of Portree, where you can take your time to wander its pretty harbour or have a toast with your fellow travellers at a local bar. *During Apr and Oct, the Jacobite Steam Train and the ferry ride take place on day 3.

Name: Day 3: Portree to Edinburgh
Short Description: Prepare to be smitten by the enchanting Eilean Donan Castle, arguably Scotland’s most romantic snapshot. Our adventure leads us to the heart of the Highlands, the Dundreggan Rewilding Centre.

Loch Ness awaits, where we pause to spot the elusive Nessie while exploring Fort Augustus. A visit to the Commando Memorial treats us to mighty views of Britain's tallest peak, Ben Nevis. Moving southward, we explore the Highland village of Dunkeld and its historic riverside cathedral. As we make our way back to Edinburgh, brace yourself for one last spectacle: the iconic Forth Rail Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage site. We return to the capital in the early evening.
