Important Information

I will always need to check the up to date position at visitor attractions and due to Covid some require advance booking. For these I can't guarantee entry until I have checked and booked.

This is a very long day and an early start is recommended. However this tour encompasses some of the most dramatic scenery in the Highlands and will leave you with buckets of photos and fond memories. There are frequent stops and no section in the car is for too long. There is little walking needed and the surfaces are suitable for a wheelchair.
