Eilean Donan Castle & journey over Skye Bridge
Visit Scotland’s most romantic castle – Eilean Donan. Strategically located on its own little island where three great sea lochs meet, this castle offers a glimpse into Scotland’s turbulent history from the rise of Christianity to Viking invasions and Jacobite rebellions! Eilean Donan retains most of its original features including winding hallways and uneven stone steps. We will also journey over the Skye bridge which connects the mainland village of Kyle of Lochalsh to the village of Kyleakin on Skye. - Weather permitting you will be taken on to the Isle of Skye for a photo stop and we will endeavour to try and book a ferry crossing over to Skye. (Please note, this day may be done in reverse).

Inverness & Aviemore
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. We will travel via Loch Laggan and through scenic glens into the very heart of Scotland, Aviemore, a popular highland resort and centre for both summer visitors and winter skiers.
