Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Let’s together the Scottish Highlands like you have never seen before !
If you would like an afternoon filled with magic, surrounded by enthralling scenery, like you’re jaws drops at every turn and feel like the mountains came close to you and each one is telling you a story of the past, this is the Experience you’re looking for.
I’ll drive you through some amazing landscapes, first on the shores of Loch Lomond, where you’ll notice the calmness about the water, surrounded by lush forests and magnificent mountains in the background.
We will stop for a break in a beautiful park, where you can walk down to the shore and just breath in the views.
This is where you’ll truly understand the meaning of the song “The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond”.
Then we’ll continue our journey up the highlands, on a truly winding road alongside magnificent pines, beautiful lakes and then you’ll notice the scenery changing and becoming more and more mountainous.

We have one more exciting stop along the way, before we get to the Highlands. We will take a peek into a 300 year old pub in Scotland called Drovers Inn. Every corner of this place, every wall has a story to tell, rich in history and character, which is a must to see in Scotland. (Please note, unfortunately we cannot have a longer stop here for drinks, otherwise we will not arrive on time to the Highlands).
You'll have the chance to really have the historic feel and take some photos of some very unusual decor at this place.

Stop 3

We’ll continue our journey along the shores of Loch Lomond through the lush hills and once we get to the foot of Glencoe, you’ll know you have arrived. These mountains are so different of what you have seen before. They are big but inviting, might seem bare but very colourful and rich in nature. It’s like walking into a different world, where valleys and hills, rock formations and waterfalls are in perfect harmony with each other. It doesn’t matter the weather, rain or shine, this place will charm you and have a lasting impression on you.
We’ll stop at some beautiful lookouts where you can take the most amazing photos to take home to cherish every memory of what you’ve seen.

We’ll go and walk around a bit near some waterfalls as well so you can have a close encounter with this place.

One special stop will be at the grounds of this newly renovated hotel in the middle of the Highlands, where you can see deer roaming free and you might even have a chance to feed one if they are close bye.

Our final stop is Glencoe village. This charming little village is tucked between the hills of Glencoe and one of its highlights is the Glencoe Folk Museum which occupies 18th-century thatched cottages. We’ll stroll along this lovely little place and then we’ll head back to Glasgow.
