Tour Itinerary
Macbackpackers make sure you experience the best of Scotland in the time you have...
Day 1 - Departing Edinburgh
We travel north to the Highland village of Dunkeld (fort of the Celts), ancient religious capital of the Highlands and the wonderful scenery and fresh air of the Grampian Mountains.
Then on, via Inverness, to the shores of dark and mysterious Loch Ness. Continuing west, down the Great Glen, we stop at picturesque Eilean Donan Castle before arriving at the village of Kyleakin on the Isle of Skye.
Day 2 - Isle of Skye
As we explore the island, heading to its northern tip, we pass through the mighty Cuillin mountains, stopping at amazing waterfalls, the seriously haunted, ruined stronghold of the Macdonald's, perched atop a sea cliff. Climb the spectacular rock formations of the Old Man of Storr and the Quiraing and visit the enchanted Faerie Glen.
Day 3 - Leaving Skye...
...we journey south along the coast and through the mountains, visiting breathtaking Glen Nevis and Glen Coe - Scotland's most beautiful and dramatic Glens respectively. Then, turning inland, we cross the desolate Rannoch Moor, past the medieval battlefields of Bannockburn and Stirling Bridge, paying homage to William Wallace, before returning to Edinburgh.

MACBACKPACKERS
About MacBackpackers:
MacBackpackers provide extremely high quality, fun and informal, fully guided tours of Scotland, designed for young, independent, budget-minded travellers.
As well as taking our guests to the top stops that Scotland has to offer — such as Loch Ness, Glen Coe, Rob Roy and 'Braveheart' country, and of course, the Isle of Skye, MacBackpackers tours thrive on the spontaneous, showing-off the 'real' character of Scotland. We pride ourselves on exceeding the expectations of our guests, maintaining a professional but relaxed approach and ensuring that every tour is entertaining, informative and utterly unique.
Ultimately, we love showing people our country, and our tours are designed to ensure that most of the day is spent off the bus. For your comfort we use 22 - 29 seat Mercedes coaches. All accommodation is automatically arranged and guaranteed for the duration of all of our tours.
Our highly successful Jump-on Jump-off tour operates seven days a week, all year round, providing a level of service unrivalled in Europe.
In keeping with our company ethos and to give back some of what we take from our bonnie country, we take part in a programme of environmental projects such as, erosion repair and reforestation, in conjunction with local groups.
MacBackpackers offer the ultimate authentic Scottish experience for those who don't buy into the bland faceless corporate ethos displayed by many other tour companies. We really do care, and we'll make sure your trip is unforgettable...
