Itinerary

Loch Lomond

30 min Admission not included

Drive along the banks of the loch. We will stop in Luss to walk down to the water's edge for those all important photographs
Inveraray

one hour

Nestled on the banks of Loch Fyne, Inveraray is a beautifully preserved Georgian town. Its striking whitewashed architecture, fascinating jail museum, and stunning lochside setting make it one of the most picturesque stops on any Highland itinerary. Whist we are in the town of Inveraray you may wish to visit the castle. Home to the Dukes of Argyll, the castle is the seat of the Clan Campbell.
St Conan's Kirk

15 min

Perched dramatically on the shores of Loch Awe, St Conan's Kirk is one of Scotland's most extraordinary churches, blending Romanesque, Gothic, and Norman architectural styles in a setting of remarkable natural beauty. Your stop here rewards you with intricate stone carvings, a small cloister, and sweeping loch views that make it one of the most memorable hidden gems on the road through Argyll.
Oban

2 hours

Perched on a sweeping natural harbour on Scotland's west coast, Oban is the gateway to the Hebridean islands and one of the Highlands' most charming coastal towns. From its famous seafood stalls to the hilltop folly of McCaig's Tower, the town offers breathtaking views across to Kerrera, Mull, and beyond. Lunch will be in Oban and time to try some wonderful seafood or perhaps a quick visit to the small distillery.
Glencoe

15 min

The Three Sisters of Glencoe are among the most dramatic and iconic mountain views in all of Scotland, their vast ridges sweeping down into the floor of this legendary glen. Your photo stop here gives you the chance to capture one of the Highlands' most powerful and unforgettable landscapes.
Tyndrum

30 min

Tyndrum is a welcome Highland pit stop with cafés and the famous Green Welly Stop, giving you a chance to grab a coffee, browse local produce, and stretch your legs before the scenic drive back to Glasgow.
