A Day Through Highland Legends and Scenery

Top Experiences on This Tour
Loch Ness
Loch Ness holds more fresh water than all the lakes in England and Wales put together. It is one of Scotland’s most recognised landmarks. The tale of Nessie adds a sense of mystery, but the loch’s size and stillness speak for themselves. We stop by the edge for a photo and a few quiet minutes by the water.
Fort Augustus
Fort Augustus sits at the southern end of Loch Ness. It has canal locks, peaceful views, and a calm pace of life. Visitors enjoy walking by the water and watching boats pass through. It’s a good place to stretch your legs and take in the scenery.
Loch Oich
Loch Oich lies along the route between Glencoe and Glenfinnan Viaduct, serving as a quiet and photogenic stretch of the Great Glen. Its role in the canal system makes it historically significant, while its still waters are perfect for reflection.
It’s a lesser-known stop, but its calm feel and Highland backdrop stand out.

Commando Memorial
Just outside Spean Bridge, the Commando Memorial honours the elite forces who trained in the Highlands during World War II. With views across to Ben Nevis, it’s a powerful and respectful place to pause. We take time here for photos and a moment of quiet thought.
Glenfinnan Viaduct
The Glenfinnan Viaduct is a highlight of the day. It became famous after its appearance in the Harry Potter films. The view of the steam train crossing the viaduct draws people from around the world. Even if you haven’t seen the movie, the setting is stunning
Fort William for lunch
Fort William is where we usually stop for lunch. It sits in the shadow of Ben Nevis. The town has cafés, small shops, and a steady flow of walkers and locals. It is a good place to rest before the road leads deeper into the Highlands.
Glencoe
Glencoe has cliffs, quiet paths, and vast glens. The valley carries stories from the past and has a strong sense of place. The light changes often, and the mood of the glen shifts with it. Some come for the views, others for the history. Most leave feeling both.
