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!
Jacobite Steam Train
The Jacobite Steam Train is described as the greatest railway journey in the world and explores some of the best landscapes in the Scottish Highlands. The trip begins near Ben Nevis, Great Britain’s highest mountain, before heading west to Arisaig. The Jacobite line then passes close by the deepest freshwater Loch in Britain, Loch Morar, and the shortest river in Britain, River Morar. Finally, the train passes alongside Loch Nevis, the deepest seawater Loch in Europe.
