WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. The Loch Ness Centre
From your place of stay in Inverness we will travel towards Loch Ness, with plenty of opportunities for photos at some of the most beautiful vantage points the loch has to offer. From there we move towards the famous Urquhart Castle and its visitor centre. The castle is a truly romantic ruin, perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the loch, and surrounded on all sides by waters over 600-feet deep, where the legendary Loch Ness Monster is said to make her home. Take your time wandering the historic ruins and learn more about its amazing history, before the tour picks up again, this time towards invermoriston and on to loch Cluanie 40 min drive
2. Loch Cluanie
Loch Cluanie is a loch in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland at the south-east end of Glen Shiel. It is a reservoir, contained behind the Cluanie Dam, constructed by Mitchell Construction and completed in 1957 as part of the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board's Glenmoriston project to generate hydroelectricity. then on to Eilean Donan Castle 25 min drive
3. Eilean Donan Castle
Eilean Donan Castle, near Dornie, is one of the most easily recognised castles in Scotland and probably appears on more calendars than any other. It is, without any exaggeration, a Scottish icon. It therefore comes as a surprise to discover that although the island has been fortified since at least the Iron Age, the castle you see today was only rebuilt from earlier ruins in the years between 1913 and 1932. and then on to Kyle of lochaish, before crossing the bridge to the isle of skye and the on to the Sligachan bridge 30 min drive
4. Sligachan
Sligachan is a small settlement on Skye, Scotland, close to the Cuillin mountains and provides breath-taking views of the Black Cuillin mountains and the River Sligachan. Legend has it that the beauty of Scáthach’s daughter and the tears of love she shed in the river, mean that anyone brave enough to dip their face in the water will be granted eternal beauty by the faeries. Whilst seeking eternal beauty at Sligachan Bridge isn’t exactly pleasant, it is nowhere near as punishing as Dorian Gray found it to be! and then on to portree 15 min drive
5. Portree
The village of Portree, situated on the east side of Skye overlooking a sheltered bay, is the capital of the island. Portree is only about 200 years old and was created as a fishing village at the beginning of the 19th century by the then Lord MacDonald. The name Portree or Port Righ, King’s Port in Gaelic, (as on the road signs) is popularly thought to derive from a visit by King James V (of Scotland) in 1540 but the area around the harbour was called Portree or Portray long before the arrival of the king. Its name really comes from the Gaelic for Port on the Slope. Further north along the road to Staffin is the Old Man of Storr - a very popular walk. Across the bay to the east, the Island of Raasay can be seen with its distinctive conical hill, Dun Caan. and then on to the the man storr 15 min drive
6. The Old Man of Storr
Old Man of Storr is famous for its magnificent scenery and views. It’s a popular spot for hikers, hill walkers and photographers. If you leave the crowd behind and walk right under the “Old Man” you can enjoy amazing views all by yourself! and then on to the lealt 10 min drive
7. Lealt Falls
You can see the Lealt Falls following the short walk from the parking place. Just sit at the top of the cliff and enjoy the view. Just a quick stop south of Staffin. A viewpoint allows a magnificent sight over the Mealt Falls and Kilt Rock. This is one of the top tourist locations on the Trotternish area. 15 min drive and the on to kilt rock
8. Kilt Rock
The 90 metre Kilt Rock on the Trotternish Peninsula does look strikingly similar to a pleated kilt. Its has vertical basalt columns that form the pleats and intruded sills of dolerite forming the pattern. From the cliff-top viewpoint you can also get a nice look at Mealt Falls, a waterfall that plummets 328 feet (100 m) over Kilt Rock to the rock-laden shoreline below. If you listen closely, you can hear the whistle made by the falls as the water crashes down. Similar to a bagpipe’s eerie tunes, this whistle becomes even more dramatic on a particularly windy day. and the back to inverness 2.45 hours drive

Regan, our guide, was wonderful! This was a long day/drive, but so worth the scenery. Regan was informative, entertaining, and so patient with our group. He asked questions to get a feel of what would beat suit us for the tour. He definitely went above what we expected. Highly recommend this tour. Hopefully you’ll get Regan!

We greatly appreciated Tony’s knowledge of the area and enjoyed his company. He advised us of the closure of Kilt Rock, so we opted not to go to that area which left us more time to spend in other areas. Enjoyed his insights into what it’s like to live in Scotland today and his knowledge of Scottish history. Highly recommend this tour!!

Our tour guide,Regan, was excellent. He was knowledgeable, personable, and courteous. We spent all day on the Isle of Skye touring the island and the Eileen Donan castle with several other stops. He showed us a fabulous day of unbelievably beautiful scenery.

Our tour guide Keith was a friendly and funny guy. Not to mention that he is an amazing photographer! He made our experience so much better.
The itinerary had several spots which we thoroughly enjoyed. The tour was self paced which we greatly appreciate since we had to hike in some areas so we took our time. Overall we enjoyed our experience
