1
South Queensferry
Departing Edinburgh, we cross the Queensferry Bridge, taking in views of the iconic Forth Rail Bridge (UNESCO World Heritage Site). Traveling through the Kingdom of Fife, the landscape transitions from rolling farmland to forested hills as we approach Perthshire's Highland Fault Line.
2
Dunkeld
Continuing through Perthshire, often known as "Big Tree Country," you'll pass through lush forests brimming with majestic Douglas firs and ancient oaks. Our journey includes a stop at the charming cathedral town of Dunkeld, nestled along the banks of the River Tay. Here, you can explore the captivating architecture of the historic cathedral or stroll through the quaint streets of this picturesque village.
30 minutes
3
Aviemore
Leaving the lush forests behind, we ascend into the majestic Cairngorms National Park and arrive at Aviemore, a charming resort town surrounded by towering peaks. Here, you'll enjoy lunch and have some free time to explore the area at your own pace.
3 hours
4
Loch Ness
Our journey then takes us through breathtaking glens framed by rugged mountains, bringing us to the banks of the legendary Loch Ness for a short break. Keep your eyes peeled you never know, you might just catch a glimpse of the elusive Loch Ness Monster!
30 minutes
5
Ullapool
We pause for a short break at Rogie Falls, where you can enjoy an optional walk to admire this breathtaking waterfall. Cross the suspension bridge for the best views of the dramatic cascade and soak in the tranquil, untamed beauty of this Highland treasure. In late summer and autumn, keep an eye out for salmon leaping upstream. This marks our final highlight before reaching Ullapool, a charming fishing village along the renowned North Coast 500. Here, we'll stay for two nights, giving you plenty of time to explore the harbor and enjoy the local pubs.
