We head to Inverness by coach for today’s included excursion, and board the Scotrail service to travel through mountains and lakes and alongside Loch Carron into the small port of Kyle of Lochalsh, from where we travel by coach to the Kyleakin on the Isle of Skye. After some free time, we return to our hotel through glorious Highland panoramas. (Please note that this rail journey may operate in reverse; Kyle of Lochalsh to Inverness).
Included Highlights
We travel by coach to Aviemore and take the Strathspey Steam Train for a ride through the spectacular Speyside Mountains to Broomhill station which famously appeared as Glenbogle station in BBC’s ‘Monarch of the Glen’ series. Afterwards, enjoy free time in Grantown on Spey, a traditional town surrounded by ancient woodlands, before returning by coach to our hotel.
Included Highlights
To Edinburgh for free time. Often referred to as the ‘Athens of the North’ and, because it was built on seven hills, likened to Rome, Edinburgh is indeed a classical city in its own right. Overlooking the Old Town is the massive castle, with its commanding view of the city and surrounding countryside, including the Firth of Forth. The almost chaotic layout of the Old Town is in complete contrast to the northern part of the city built in Georgian times and reflecting the great architectural characteristics of that period. Laid out to a grand design, the New Town has wide streets and elegant squares and is bordered to the south by Princes Street Gardens and to the north by Queen Street Gardens. Highlights include the Royal Mile, the Palace of Holyrood and Sir Walter Scott Monument. We head to our overnight hotel in the Glasgow area.
