Loch Lomond and The Highlands Day Tour
Overview
Welcome to the ultimate Scottish adventure! Our private day tour immerses you in the breathtaking beauty and rich history of this land. Scotland's natural wonders and dramatic landscapes are calling, and we're here to make sure you answer that call in style. Our journey begins at picturesque Loch Lomond, a shimmering gem in the Trossachs National Park — the largest freshwater loch in the United Kingdom — where you'll breathe in the crisp Scottish air and take in its hidden corners. We then pause at Glen Orchy for an expansive panoramic view over the hills, glens and rivers towards Loch Tulla, before arriving at our main stop: the hauntingly beautiful Glencoe and the rugged Highlands, where our experienced guides regale you with the captivating stories behind these iconic landscapes, and there's time to stop for lunch. On the way back, our journey pauses at Loch Lubnaig, a hidden jewel in the heart of the Highlands, where you can bask in the serenity of its mirror-like waters — the perfect spot for a leisurely walk — before we head home.
Itinerary
Hotel Pickup, Edinburgh
Your driver-guide collects you and your group directly from your hotel.
Loch Lomond
This mesmerising loch lies in the heart of the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, surrounded by rolling countryside, hills and wonderful wild scenery — ideal for exploring, breathing in the fresh air, walking and taking photos. It's the largest freshwater loch by surface area in the UK, with miles of shoreline to enjoy.
Glen Orchy & Loch Tulla
We stop here to take in an expansive panoramic view over the hills, glens and rivers towards Loch Tulla.
Glencoe & The Highlands
Our main stop of the day — perhaps Scotland's most famous and most scenic glen, arguably its most historic too, and recently voted the country's most romantic. Glencoe is a favourite base for hillwalking and mountaineering, and a wonderful spot to stop for lunch before continuing on.
Loch Lubnaig
On the way back, we stop at peaceful Loch Lubnaig for a comfort break, with time for photos and a short walk along the lochside.
Return Journey
A relaxed drive back to Edinburgh, with further photo stops along the way.
