Scottish Highlands, Loch Ness and Glencoe Day Trip from Edinburgh

A full-day trip from Edinburgh into the Scottish Highlands, combining Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle, Glen Coe and Stirling with the story of William Wallace. The programme is built around sightseeing, history and landscape.

This day trip from Edinburgh heads north into the Scottish Highlands, with wide views of the Cairngorms National Park along the way. The itinerary includes a cruise on Loch Ness, where the search for the monster known as Nessie is the focus, and a visit to the ruins of Urquhart Castle.

Further stops take in an ancient castle in Stirling, which can be seen as the route passes it, and Glen Coe, where the massacre of 1692 is part of the commentary. The trip also covers the adventures of the Scottish legend William Wallace, whose life is portrayed in the film Braveheart.

It suits visitors who want an overview of Highland scenery and history in one day, and anyone who enjoys photography, as participants are encouraged to bring a camera. The trip is based in Edinburgh, where it starts and finishes.
