3 Day Isle of Skye Tour

Join us for this 3 day tour and discover Skye, "The Misty Isle", Viking stronghold for many years and one of Scotland's most breathtaking retreats.

Our journey takes us on land and by sea to see such sites as Stirling Castle, Fort William, the Cuillin Mountains, Eilean Donan Castle, Culloden Battlefield, Pitlochry and many many more.

We use vehicles which are more suited to Highland roads. Smaller groups guarantee more interaction with the guides and the opportunity to stop at interesting sites where big buses can't go!

With overnight stays on the Isle of Skye and Loch Ness, this is an unforgettable experience. Overnight accommodations are not included in the tour price.

Itinerary:

Day One:
We travel through Rob Roy territory, passing Stirling Castle and over the wild expanse of Rannoch Moor to spectacular Glencoe. Our journey takes us through Fort William, under the shadow of Ben Nevis and along "The Road to the Isles" and over the sea to the Isle of Skye for the night.

Day Two:
We travel around the island and take in some of the most breathtaking scenery on the planet! The dramatic Cuillin Mountains, the Quiraing and Trotternish peninsula. Spot an inquisitive seal peeking out of the water or deer grazing as the light falls. These will be memories of Skye that you will treasure forever. As we leave the island we pay a visit to the world famous Eilean Donan Castle before arriving on the banks of Loch Ness for our second night.

Day Three:
We begin the day with some early morning monster spotting with a boat cruise on Loch Ness, before heading through the Highland Capital of Inverness and stopping for a visit to Culloden Battlefield. Next, we travel south, traversing the Cairngorm mountain range for a coffee stop in the picturesque town of Pitlochry. Finally we head over the Forth Road Bridge and back to Edinburgh.
