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.
Edinburgh
Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and is where you will find the Scottish parliament. Our 3 Day Scotland Tour gives you the flexibility to explore as much of Edinburgh as you want. The formal side of the package includes a panoramic sightseeing tour of the capital where you will get an overview of the city. You will also have free time to explore the city on day 3, and the whole of day 2 if you decide not to join the Loch Ness & Highlands trip.
Edinburgh is a very beautiful city with impressive architecture and a vibrant nightlife. Highlights include the Royal Mile which is the main street in the Old Town and nearby Grassmarket, the historic marketplace. Edinburgh Castle is one of the most visited attractions which dominates the skyline. It is home to the Scottish Crown Jewels (the Honours of Scotland) and the Coronation Stone.
Our Scotland tour also includes an option to visit the Glenkinchie Whisky Distillery. Whisky is Scotland’s national drink and there are 120 active distilleries located across Scotland.
