We will stop off for a quick viewing of the Drovers inn, the oldest around ! The drovers has been open since 1705 and is said to be haunted by the infamous cattle drovers of the past who stopped here whilst herding Highland Cows to the markets in the south.
We will take in the magnificent waterfalls in Glen Falloch. I will guide you through a very short walk in Nature and woodlands which always makes for a great photo opportunity.
We will follow the West Highland Way throughout our adventure, Scotland's most popular long distance hike. I have completed this hike on numerous occasions therefor I will be able to stop along some spectacular vantage points along the way.
We will pass through one of not only Scotland's, but the UK's most spectacular wilderness. Sit back, relax and take in some thought provoking and atmospheric scenery as we approach Glencoe, there will be many great picture opportunities throughout this stretch.
Glencoe is a bottle neck of beauty. This is one of Scotlands greatest Glens. A glen is what we call a mountain pass. Years gone by, I have worked for tour companies that factor only one stop in here. Scotland does not get any better than Glencoe, and this is where I have hiked most of my life. Let me take you to some of the most enchanting spots, which I will decide on based on your personality. Glencoe has everything to offer - rugged mountains, waterfalls, white water rapids, glens, valleys and above all history ! I would like to take you to the famous Clachaig inn for lunch which allows you to further immerse yourself within the area.
We will stop off at a magnificent vantage point looking over to Castle Stalker. I will be able to give you a whole exterior tour of the Castle based on my extensive knowledge of this whole region.
We will stop off at the old Clan Campbell stronghold of Kilchurn Castle. I will be able to give you a whole exterior tour of the Castle based on my extensive knowledge of this whole region.
We will pass through the stunning town of Inveraray. Although this is marked as a "pass by without stopping" if this is somewhere you would like to spend some time in meandering around the great gift shops and sites, I will always be flexible to allow this.
Inveraray Castle is one of my favourites in Scotland. I would recommend you pre book a tour, which I can help you to arrange. If you choose not to prebook a tour, I can give you a full exterior tour based on my in depth knowledge from numerous visits and tours.
