Inspiration for your own tailor-made trip
The Scottish Highlands,Scotland,Edinburgh
100% customisable for you
Begin your journey with an international flight (most likely overnight) to the UK.
After check out and breakfast, your private driver-guide will meet you in the hotel lobby, ready to explore the Highlands! Visit the 3D experience of the Bannockburn Battle to follow in the footsteps of a medieval warrior and to find out more about one of Scotland's most historic battles, a crushing victory over the old enemy, England. From the visitor centre, enjoy a tour of Stirling Castle, which has played a key role in Scottish history. Meet the costumed characters and even dress up in costume and try some medieval instruments.
Stop for lunch in a traditional pub before heading to Pitlochry to see the magical salmon ladder where, in breeding season (autumn, or fall), huge salmon leap from man-made pool to pool to bypass a dam. Even out of season it's fascinating to hear about the adventurous journey these iconic fish take, sometimes many miles upstream on the river of their birth. After this stop, your driver will transfer you to your private farmhouse in the Cairngorms.
This morning, enjoy a scenic drive to your next hotel, located on the West Coast. The journey will take approximately two and a half hours but is extremely scenic, and you can stop off at Loch Ness for a Nessie-spotting boat ride on your way. Arrive at the hotel in time for an afternoon activity, choose from sea kayaking, gorge scrambling, bike rides and coastal walks and enjoy the rural wilderness.
Today, make the journey back to Edinburgh - this will take approximately four hours, however this will be broken up with stop offs at Eilean Donan Castle and lunch in the beautiful but spooky Glencoe.
In a hurry? Let us arrange a helicopter to get back you to the outskirts of Edinburgh in record time. Or if you would like to extend your trip, we would highly recommend relaxing in the hugely family friendly Gleneagles.
