Itinerary
Day 1

Taste of Perthshire, Bankfoot
Taste of Perthshire is a great first stop. There are toilet facilities, coffee and food to go and, of course, Highland Cows you can try to hand feed.
Commando Memorial
Next we will take you to the Commando Mmemorial in Spean Bridge. This is a beautiful monument and viewpoint of the Nevis mountain range.
Fort Augustus, Loch Ness
We will then visit Fort Augustus on the banks of Loch Ness. A great option for you here is the 1hr cruise of Loch Ness. There are also many different places for lunch.
Glenfinnan Viaduct
An hour's drive takes us to the Glenfinnan Viaduct, made famous by the Harry Potter films. The Jacobite steam engine crosses this bridge with whistles and clouds of steam at set times during the day. The vantage point makes for a good viewing platform.

Day 2
9:00am start
3 Sisters of Glencoe
The most photographed place in Scotland, the '3 Sisters' of in Glencoe, is our first stop of the day.

Fairy Bridge
Next, is the magical 'Fairy Bridge' in Appin, built in 1836.
Oban
The enchanting town of Oban, the ‘seafood capital of Scotland’, is next on our journey and a fitting place for lunch.
St Conan's Kirk
We will then take you to visit St Conan's Kirk. This hidden, and little known, gem of the Highlands was voted by Architects as a top ten building in Scotland, and it has a crypt with a bone fragment from Robert the Bruce - the first King of Scotland. It's a most quirky building, alike to a medieval film set.
Kilchurn Castle, Loch Awe
Onwards, we will stop at the viewpoint for Kilchurn castle in Loch Awe, which is a great stop for photos. It was a formidable fortress in its time, surrounded on three sides by water.
Inverary Castle, Loch Fyne
Next is the iconic Inveraray Castle, home and residence to the Clan Chiefs of Clan Campbell, also known as the 'Duke & Duchess of Argyle'. The grounds are open to the public, but there is a charge to enter the castle or the garden. If you don’t want to visit inside the castle, you can still freely explore the grounds, cafe and shop downstairs.
Luss
The beautiful village of Luss, nestled on the banks of Loch Lomond, is the final attraction of the tour. It has been voted as ‘the most beautiful village in Scotland’.
