A tour perfect for anyone looking to experience the beauty of the Scottish Highlands, and for discovering the mystery of the monster! On this fun day away your local guide will fill on all the missing details and give you the insights, and the entertaining stories to ensure you have an adventure to enjoy.
You’ll head north from Edinburgh taking in the sights of Stirling Castle and the Trossachs National Park, before a stop at Glencoe, the scene of the infamous massacre in 1692. The journey continues towards Loch Ness, passing Ben Nevis, Britain’s tallest mountain before arriving at the water’s edge in Fort Augustus. Here you can take the option of a boat cruise on the loch or just relax and walk the loch’s banks, keeping a keen eye out for that monster.
Before the day is done the return journey takes you by shimmering lochs and forest lands. The perfect way to end the tour. An adventure into the wilds of Scotland and the search for a monster. You can’t do that every day!
