Itinerary

  • N/A

    We will arrive at Rannoch Moor, surrounded by mountainous landscapes, lochs and valleys. We will stop in one of the most beautiful and magical valleys in Scotland, Glencoe Valley, where the bloody massacre of the MacDonald clan took place. You will be able to take some great photos of The Three Sisters and also try to spot some of the famous scenery from famous films such as Harry Potter and James Bond.

    35 minutes

  • N/A

    (Optional stop) If we have time, we will make a quick stop at this viewpoint to enjoy the incredible views of a variety of lochs, forests and mountains.

    10 minutes

  • The Three Sisters

    We will make another quick stop to admire the Three Sisters, three unusual rock formations. The pointy ridges are named Gearr Aonach (short ridge), Aonach Dubh (black ridge) and Beinn Fhada (long ridge).

    15 minutes

  • Fort Augustus

    We will then continue with our trip to Loch Ness and pass through Fort William. The Caledonian Canal and the Fort Augustus lock system will be our next destination. There will be plenty of time to visit the canal and to go on the Loch Ness cruise if you choose to do so. Don’t forget your camera! From this viewpoint you can get some amazing shots of the lake and its landscape. The ticket for the one hour cruise on Loch Ness is not included in the price of the day trip (ticket price for clients of LochNessBus.com is: £18 adults / £11 children from 5 to 15 years old / £ 16.00 students and senior citizens - over 60).

    15 minutes

  • Pitlochry

    Our journey will continue on Cairngorms National Park. Loch Lagann and Ardverikie Castle will be some of the places we will see on our way to Pitlochry. This village is full of beautiful Victorian houses and will be our last stop before our return to Edinburgh. You will have time to enjoy a drink in one of its many pubs.

    45 minutes

  • Edinburgh

    On our journey back to Edinburgh you will be able to enjoy the change in scenery between the Highlands and the Lowlands and also see the 19th century Forth railway bridge that crosses the Firth of Forth, yet another of Scotland’s contributions to the World Heritage List. Once back in the Edinburgh there will still be time for us to offer you sometips on how to spend your time in Scotland’s capital city.

A must if you’re traveling to Edinburgh!

Published on Mar, 2025

I booked this tour kind of last minute on a recommendation from our Airbnb host who said if we’re going to Scotland, we should dedicate a day to visiting the Highlands. I was a little iffy about spending 12 hours on a bus but to be honest, the day just flew by. The bus was comfortable and warm, we all had little devices with earphones that allowed us to hear the guide clearly. Our bus had two guides - Amber, the English speaking guide, and Valentina, the Italian guide. Amber was so sweet and knowledgeable, she was really easy to listen to, funny, never boring, had a lot of fun little tidbits of information throughout our ride. We stopped every 1.5-2 hours so it was easy for me and my tiny bladder, I’m always nervous about that on long bus tours. What I really enjoyed is they played some music throughout the tour in between informational bits, and it ranged from folk songs to modern songs inspired by Scotland and the highlands. I’m very much a music person and it added to my experience so much! I loved this entire trip, we saw the highland cows, saw the gorgeous Glencoe and learned of its long and tragic history - and listened to a song about it, we saw a couple little towns and got to look for Nessie in the Loch Ness by taking a boat ride, which was also awesome (we did not find Nessie). Overall a fantastic experience I’d recommend to anyone. Special thanks to Amber for being a delight!
