Your Highland Day Tour from Glasgow

Beginning your Highland tour from Glasgow, we’ll collect you from your accommodation and travel north through the breathtaking Arrochar Alps. Stop at the renowned Rest and Be Thankful viewpoint for spectacular photographic opportunities of these dramatic mountains. As we journey through the Highlands, you’ll pass the great sea lochs of Loch Long and Loch Fyne, famous for their oysters and shellfish.

Arriving in the historic Highland town of Inveraray, you’ll have time to explore the iconic neo-Gothic Inveraray Castle, home to the Duke of Argyll (Chief of Clan Campbell), or visit atmospheric Inveraray Jail, where inmates were held before being transported to Australia, Canada, or the USA – often for minor misdemeanours such as stealing bread for their families. Browse the lovely Georgian boutique shops, or enjoy lunch at the recommended George Hotel, established in 1860.

Departing Inveraray, we head to Loch Awe, where you’ll capture amazing photographs of the dramatic ruins of Kilchurn Castle, the power base of the Campbells of Glenorchy. We then return to Glasgow via the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, touring the full 24 miles of Scotland’s most famous loch, with an optional refreshment stop at the reputedly haunted Drovers Inn, established in 1705.
