Marathon Loch Ness daytrip, Nessie an option...

Your hotel

I'll uplift you from your hotel and we'll head out of Edinburgh through the New Town and Westwards passing Linlithgow Palace and The Kelpies.

Stirling

We'll pass Stirling Castle before travelling through the Carse of Stirling heading for Loch Lomond

Luss

We'll stop in the village of Luss for a coffee break and a chance to see Loch Lomond up close.

Crianlarch

Arriving at the top of Loch Lomond we'll now head right into the Highlands.

Glencoe

Perhaps the most atmospheric place in the country? We arrive here after driving though Rannoch Moor and seeing the must be photographed, Buachallie Etive Mor. As we drive through the Glen, stopping for photos, I'll tell you about the clans that lived here and an important event in history in 1692.

Fort William

Lunch. After passing Loch Leven and Loch Linnhe we arrive in the town of Fort William which has plenty bars and restaurants at which to lunch.

Leave Fort William and keep going

We'll continue North passing Ben Nevis, the Commando Memorial, Loch Oich and the Well of the Seven Heads (great story there!) before navigating through more of The Great Glen.

Fort Augustus

Loch Ness is now in view. Here we can see the locks on the Caledonian Canal and you'll have your first opportunity to purchase Nessie memorabilia!

Urquhart Castle

The best place to view Loch Ness from. Stories here of Picts, St Columba, monster sightings and destruction.

Towards Inverness

We now have to start the long road home, we'll skirt round the South of Inverness before taking the A9 road to the South. We pass nearby Culloden so it gives me a chance to give you the whole 1745-46 story, or you can now take the opportunity to have a quick snooze.

Pitlochry

A brief stop in this little town for a quick refreshment.

Home

I should have you back by this time, it's been a long day but you've had the chance top see a lot of Scotland
