The Scottish Highlands are a sight to behold. The breath-taking splendor of the rugged mountains combined with serene lochs and the striking castles which dot the landscape has earned the Highlands the reputation of being one of the most scenic regions in Europe. Allow us to show you the real Highlands on this 4 day journey taking in some of the most splendid scenery, historic Highland castles, traditional villages and a visit to a working Whisky Distillery to sample the "Water of Life". Explore the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond and Scotland's first National Park which is home to around 720 square miles of some of the finest scenery in Scotland. Vist the picturesque village of Luss, the desolate landscape of Rannoch Moor and the enchanting mountains of Glencoe, steeped in bloody history. Take in the charming village of Fort Augustus on the shores of Loch Ness in the Great Glen, before the scenery quickly changes as we meander through the Central Highlands of Scotland and the Cairngorms National Park to visit historic Blair Castle and sample some Single Malt Whisky. The return journey takes us into the East Neuk of Fife to visit St Andrews "The Home of Golf " and the quaint east coast fishing villages.
