Tour Itinerary Day 1 Leaving Edinburgh, we head westwards towards Loch Lomond (you'll take the high road!) before driving along the Argyle coastline (the ancient kingdom of Dalriada) taste a fresh oyster at Loch Fyne, visit the mysterious Standing Stones of Kilmartin Glen and climb to the top of Dunadd Fort to find out how our nation was defined. Beautiful scenery, fresh air and fascinating stories what better way to prepare for a lively night in bonny Oban our home for tonight. Day 2 Today we head deeper into the magical Highlands through some spectacular north west coast scenery with amazing stops and weather permitting walks in magnificent Glencoe (hear the tragic tale of the MacDonald's Massacre) and/or Glen Nevis. Then we head to Eilean Donan Castle before making our way to Plockton near to the magical Isle of Skye - our home for the next two nights. Day 3 A full and active day round the Isle of Skye today, with lots of walks and time to take in the magic. You'll see the Cuillin Mountains, the Old Man of Storr (an incredible Jurassic pillar) and hear some amazing legends, visit the fascinating Kilt Rock, and take in absolutely awe-inspiring panoramas in the Quiraing. Perfect preparation for a few wee drams in the local pub, to reflect on a day of tales and legends. Day 4 Time for a spot of monster hunting on Loch Ness this morning then it is an emotional visit to tragic Culloden battlefield (Bonnie Prince Charlie's last stand). As we head southwards we will enjoy some nice forest walks and pop into Scotlands smallest distillery Edradour - then a short hop to spend the next two nights in real style in a 16th Century castle near Stirling! Day 5 With a bit of time to explore the castle this morning we then head off on a loop around the Trossachs (or Braveheart country if you choose) Stirling (hear the history of Wallace and Bruce), Doune Castle, Rob Roy Macgregors land, waterfalls and short walks galore then back to reflect on the day in your castle with a wee dram. Day 6 Our last day together but still a full day. We drive straight out to St Andrews with plenty of time for you to explore this ancient religious capital walk the Old Course, run down the beach (Chariots of Fire!), visit the castle and cathedral or do a bit of shopping the choice is yours. After lunch we make our way back to Edinburgh along the Fife coastline fishing villages, tales of witches and the grand Forth bridges and then back to the capital, tired honourary Scots!
