Loch Ness, Glencoe and The Scottish Highlands Tour from Edinburgh

We will arrive at Rannoch Moor, surrounded by mountainous landscapes, lochs and valleys. We will stop in one of the most beautiful and magical valleys in Scotland, Glencoe Valley, where the bloody massacre of the MacDonald clan took place. You will be able to take some great photos of The Three Sisters and also try to spot some of the famous scenery from famous films such as Harry Potter and James Bond.

(Optional stop) If we have time, we will make a quick stop at this viewpoint to enjoy the incredible views of a variety of lochs, forests and mountains.

We will make another quick stop to admire the Three Sisters, three unusual rock formations. The pointy ridges are named Gearr Aonach (short ridge), Aonach Dubh (black ridge) and Beinn Fhada (long ridge).

We will then continue with our trip to Loch Ness and pass through Fort William. The Caledonian Canal and the Fort Augustus lock system will be our next destination. There will be plenty of time to visit the canal and to go on the Loch Ness cruise if you choose to do so. Don’t forget your camera! From this viewpoint you can get some amazing shots of the lake and its landscape.
