Highland Hotel 6 Day Winter Warmer
First Day - South
Arrive at the Highland Hotel in time for dinner.
Ben Nevis Distillery & Caledonian Canal
The Ben Nevis Distillery is one of the oldest in Scotland. Our national drink is brewed at the foot of Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, which provides an amazing backdrop to the distillery. After sampling a dram your coach will explore the Caledonian Canal – a magnificent feat of Scottish engineering stretching 60 miles through the stunning Great Glen. The Canal is an engineering masterpiece and Neptune’s Staircase, built by Thomas Telford between 1803-1822, is the longest staircase lock in Britain.
Inverness & Loch Ness
Also known as the ‘Highland Capital’, Inverness is the main city in the Scottish Highlands and although it is one of the fastest growing cities in Europe it still retains its market town atmosphere. Inverness offers a wide range of local produce and shops to explore as well as castles and heritage sites. Just a short distance away lies Scotland’s most famous Loch, known around the world thanks to its elusive monster. The Loch Ness Monster, Nessie, is undoubtedly the biggest attraction in the area. There have been rumours of a beast in the water since the 7th century but the first recorded sightings date back to 1933. The legend of Nessie remains unproven but explore this area to see for yourself! As well as the monster, Loch Ness has many other attractions including Urquhart Castle. A former royal castle, Urquhart has witnessed some of Scotland’s most dramatic history.
Glencoe, Rannoch Moor & Oban
Glencoe is undoubtedly the most popular and scenic glen in Scotland. The sheer scale and grandeur of the landscape is sure to inspire and the turbulent history of the area will fascinate visitors. Then visit nearby Rannoch Moor - one of Scotland's outstanding areas of natural wilderness, before heading to the west coast. The largest town in Argyll & The Isles, Oban is known as the 'Gateway to the Isles' and is the 'Seafood Capital of Scotland'. Oban has a way of drawing out the romantic side of visitors, with its mists that roll in from the sea and the hills which overlook the bay. The most iconic feature within Oban is McCaig's Tower, a Colosseum lookalike that stands above the town and offers wonderful views out west. From seafood to whisky, Oban offers a great range of local produce - all well worth sampling!
Mallaig
This busy fishing port lies on the north west coast of Scotland along the famous Road to the Isles. Soak up the local atmosphere and relax or adventure out and enjoy one of the many short walks around the harbour.
