IDEAL SCOTLAND - Private Circuit

As always, we head north to lose ourselves in the culture, nature and history of this country.

Just before we cross the border into the Highlands we stop at Stirling to meet Scotland's national hero - William Wallace. Over Abbey Hill we will review the famous period of the Scottish and English Wars of Independence.

Then, with one foot in the Highlands, we stop to have a break in Killin by the Docharts waterfalls. Coffee Break.

We continue until we reach the incredible valley of Glen Coe. A place that leaves no one indifferent because of its beauty as well as its history that hides a grey past that the guide will tell you about. 

Soon we arrive at Fort William where we stop for lunch. Fort William is the largest urban centre in the Highlands after Inverness.

With our batteries charged, we continue to the west coast of Scotland. We will make a stop at Fort Augustus, by Loch Ness, where we will be able to take the desired photograph as well as learn about an engineering masterpiece - the Caledonian Canal.

In the early evening, we finally arrive at our destination. The charming fishing village of Plockton will be our resting place for the next two nights.

A magical day lies ahead of us. Today we'll spend the day getting to know the Isle of Skye in its entirety.

We will stop to visit its capital - Portree, before starting the trek that will take us to The Old Man of Storr. Without a doubt this will be one of the unforgettable moments of the trip because of its natural scenery. (Trekking suitable for all ages).

We continue touring the island until we reach the Quiraing. This place has gained fame for its incredible views and is known as the "Balcony of Skye".

We will stop in Uig where we will have the opportunity to recover our strength and taste the gastronomy of the island.

We will then move on to the western most point of the island and a magical place that will captivate us - Neist Point Lighthouse. We will walk along a small path that combines the beauty of the sea, cliffs, mountains and fauna and it culminates in a small lighthouse, a witness to the magic of nature. Indispensable! 

After this magnificent day, we will return to Plockton for a hot shower and a well-deserved dinner.

After a good breakfast, we set off to enter the history of Scotland visiting the most emblematic castles.

Our first stop will be at Eilean Donan Castle. This is certainly the most charming castle of all, as well as the most photographed by travellers. Located on a small island at the apex of three lakes along with a picturesque bridge linking the castle to the mainland, it makes this place a delight for all travellers.

We continue our journey through the Glenshiel Valley to reach the shores of Loch Ness where a cruise ship will be waiting for us to navigate its waters. The crossing will take us to the most beautiful point of the lake where Urquhart Castle is located. When we disembark we will be able to visit the ruins of the castle in search of the perfect picture. The landscape will captivate you and with a bit of luck, maybe we will meet Nessie!

At the end of the visit we will travel to Inverness, the capital of the Highlands. There, we will be able to discover the gastronomy of the Highlands and enjoy the afternoon free to walk around this beautiful city.

We will sleep in a centrally located hotel in Inverness before embarking on a new day full of experiences.
