After breakfast, we continue our journey northwards to Scotland and on to the Caledonian Hotel near Fort William for a five-night stay.
Travelling via the poignant Commando Memorial, we make our way to Fort Augustus, located at the southern tip of Loch Ness, where we enjoy an included cruise. With informative commentary and top-of-the-range sonar equipment, there’s no better way to experience the views, sights, wildlife, history, and legend of Loch Ness.
We take the Argyll Coastal Route to reach Oban – a bustling harbour town situated on a sheltered horseshoe bay, protected by the Inner Hebridean island of Kerrea. This busy port town is the gateway to the isles, with regular ferries departing to the Inner Hebrides. There are plenty of shops to discover, including a popular chocolate shop and whisky distillery.
Enjoy a day at leisure to relax and admire the spectacular scenery from the hotel, which overlooks Loch Linnhe, or perhaps make your own way into nearby Fort William – a bustling town with shops and cafés. Fort William is known as the 'Outdoor Capital of the UK' and it is the start and end of the famous West Highland Way walking route.
The ‘Road to the Isles’ is considered one of the best drives in Scotland. Travelling from Fort William to Mallaig, this route passes forests, historic sights, shimmering lochs, beaches, and moors topped with purple heather. We take to the waters in Mallaig, with the Isles of Skye, Rhum and Eigg in the distance. These waters are frequently visited by a variety of birds, seals, porpoises, dolphins, whales and basking sharks.
We return to Fort William, making a stop at the Glenfinnan Visitor Centre. Take a stroll to the Glenfinnan Monument on the shores of the loch, or admire the spectacular Glenfinnan Viaduct – an iconic structure famous for its appearance in the Harry Potter films!
After breakfast, we leave Fort William behind and make our way to a comfortable hotel in Northern England for an overnight stay.
