The first stop on our luxury tour in Scotland’s Highlands is the mighty Stirling Castle and Wallace Monument. This commanding position at the foot of the Highland Boundary has been fought over for thousands of years as a strategic point to control the entire country.
We then continue northwest into the mountain wilderness to visit Etive Mor, an extinct super volcano known locally as “the Shepard of Glencoe”. Here, we turn off the beaten path into Glen Etive for spectacular scenery and hopefully to spot Red Deer in their native habitat. Our next stop is Scotland’s most sought-after spot — Glencoe. Towering mountains on all sides and a bloody history make this an unforgettable experience for all who visit.
Our final port of call on day one of this Highland tour from Edinburgh is the town of Fort William at the foot of Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis.
Enjoy an overnight stay in Fort William.
We start the second day of this private Highlands tour with a visit to Thomas Telford’s engineering masterpiece, Neptune’s Staircase. Constructed 200 years ago, it’s part of the Caledonian canal system. This series of eight locks lift boats some 70 ft from sea level to Loch Lochy above.
We then head west to Glenfinnan and Loch Shiel for one of Scotland’s finest views. Here, we will see the Glenfinnan viaduct, which featured in the Harry Potter movies, and the Jacobite memorial.
Our next stop will satisfy any whisky enthusiast — Dalwhinnie Distillery. And our luxury tour to the Highlands of Scotland concludes with our final attraction; a tour of Blair Castle. The 14th-century structure is one of the finest examples of a castle in all of Scotland.
