Loch Ness & Glencoe

Want a chance to see the Loch Ness monster? Only have a day free? This tour is the way to do it!

This tour is often nicknamed "Scotland in a day", as it's a 320 mile round trip from Edinburgh to the legendary Loch Ness. This takes 12 hours, with stops along the way, and throughout the day we'll entertain you with stories of Scottish history, culture and mythical creatures. (Please note: sightings of mythical creatures not guaranteed).

Our first stop is an hour and a half's drive north for refreshments and a comfort break in the picture-perfect Highland village of Pitlochry.

Afterwards, we continue through gorgeous Highland scenery until we get to Loch Ness at 1 pm. Here, you have an added optional extra of a 50 minute cruise of the Loch. We don't join you on the boat, but it has commentary from a live guide on board. If you don't want to take the cruise, you can have a relaxing pub lunch in the village of Fort Augustus on the banks of the Loch.

Following at least an hour at Loch Ness, we return to Edinburgh via Glencoe, one of the most famous and beautiful valleys in Scotland.
