Loch Awe Hotel 7 Day Scenic Scotland
First Day - South
Arrive at the Loch Awe Hotel in time for dinner.
Oban
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!
Inveraray & Arrochar
Overlooking the still waters of Loch Fyne, Inveraray is the most iconic town in Argyll. This pretty town was founded in 1745 by the 3rd Duke of Argyll, head of the infamous Clan Campbell. Inveraray is a classic example of an 18th century planned town and the Georgian architecture remains unspoilt. Afterwards, located at the head of Loch Long, you will visit the quaint little village of Arrochar. The village sits amongst some of the most spectacular scenery on the Cowal peninsula with several gentle local walks for you to enjoy.
Isle of Mull & Tobermory Cruise
Mull boasts white sandy beaches, stunning scenery and many shops selling locally made crafts. With Ben More dominant in the skyline and 300 miles of coastline there is plenty to see and do. One of the most iconic harbours in Scotland, Tobermory is famous for its brightly coloured buildings that were once the setting of the TV show Balamory. After exploring the pretty port enjoy a sail through the crystal blue waters of the sound of Mull. Be sure to watch out for the local wildlife in the area and try to spot the puffins and porpoise.
Helensburgh & Luss
Step into Colquhoun territory and visit Helensburgh and the pretty village of Luss. Helensburgh is a handsome Victorian holiday resort on the River Clyde to the west of Glasgow. The town was founded at the end of the 18th century by Sir James Colquhoun who named Helensburgh after his wife – Helen. This popular Victorian holiday destination boasts a long promenade, beautiful parks and pretty gardens. The town’s most iconic feature is Hill House which is the finest domestic masterpiece of the famous Scottish architect, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Helensburgh boasts many other famous townsmen including Henry Bell, originator of the steamship and John Logie Baird, the inventor of the television. Just a short distance away lies the quaint village of Luss. Developed in the 18th and 19th centuries to house the workers from nearby slate quarries, the village is remarkably unchanged and the identical sandstone and slate cottages became the setting for the successful TV show Take the High Road. Wander down the pebbly street to the pier for breathtaking panoramic views of Loch Lomond against the mighty backdrop of Ben Lomond.
Fort William, Glencoe & Rannoch Moor
Lying in the shadow of Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, Fort William is the ‘Outdoor Capital of the UK’ and boasts some of the most spectacular scenery in the Highlands. Fort William lies along the banks of Loch Linnhe and is the main town in Lochaber but is just a short distance from spectacular Glencoe and Rannoch Moor. 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 and rugged beauty. - An optional trip on the Nevis Range Mountain Gondola will be offered, weather permitting.
