Loch Ness & Highlands Trip
Our Loch Ness & Highlands trip is a great addition to your 3 Day Scotland tour from London. You’ll leave Edinburgh and head into an area of rugged and wild Scottish countryside known as The Highlands. Take in the spectacular scenery and wildlife as we head towards Loch Ness. We’ll stop at iconic locations including Glencoe. This dramatic site has been used as a filming location in Harry Potter and James Bond films. Loch Ness is one of the most famous places to visit in Scotland and home to the legends of Nessie the Loch Ness monster. Enjoy a boat cruise along the cruise where you can take in this spectacular landscape, followed by a visit to the ruins of Urquhart Castle.
