Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: The Loch Ness Centre, Drumnadrochit IV63 6TU Scotland

From your place of stay in Inverness we will travel towards Loch Ness, with plenty of opportunities for photos at some of the most beautiful vantage points the loch has to offer.
From there we move towards the famous Urquhart Castle and its visitor centre. The castle is a truly romantic ruin, perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the loch, and surrounded on all sides by waters over 600-feet deep, where the legendary Loch Ness Monster is said to make her home. Take your time wandering the historic ruins and learn more about its amazing history, before the tour picks up again, this time towards invermoriston and on to loch Cluanie

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Loch Cluanie, Invergarry Scotland

Loch Cluanie is a loch in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland at the south-east end of Glen Shiel. It is a reservoir, contained behind the Cluanie Dam, constructed by Mitchell Construction and completed in 1957 as part of the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board's Glenmoriston project to generate hydroelectricity. then on to Eilean Donan Castle

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Eilean Donan Castle, Kyle of Lochalsh IV40 8DX Scotland

Eilean Donan Castle, near Dornie, is one of the most easily recognised castles in Scotland and probably appears on more calendars than any other. It is, without any exaggeration, a Scottish icon. It therefore comes as a surprise to discover that although the island has been fortified since at least the Iron Age, the castle you see today was only rebuilt from earlier ruins in the years between 1913 and 1932. and then on to Kyle of lochaish, before crossing the bridge to the isle of skye next stop will be portree

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Sligachan, Isle of Skye IV47 8SW, UK

Sligachan is a small settlement on Skye, Scotland, close to the Cuillin mountains and provides breath-taking views of the Black Cuillin mountains and the River Sligachan.
Legend has it that the beauty of Scáthach’s daughter and the tears of love she shed in the river, mean that anyone brave enough to dip their face in the water will be granted eternal beauty by the faeries. Whilst seeking eternal beauty at Sligachan Bridge isn’t exactly pleasant, it is nowhere near as punishing as Dorian Gray found it to be!

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Portree, Portree, Isle of Skye, The Hebrides, Scotland

The village of Portree, situated on the east side of Skye overlooking a sheltered bay, is the capital of the island.
Portree is only about 200 years old and was created as a fishing village at the beginning of the 19th century by the then Lord MacDonald. The name Portree or Port Righ, King’s Port in Gaelic, (as on the road signs) is popularly thought to derive from a visit by King James V (of Scotland) in 1540 but the area around the harbour was called Portree or Portray long before the arrival of the king. Its name really comes from the Gaelic for Port on the Slope.
Further north along the road to Staffin is the Old Man of Storr - a very popular walk. Across the bay to the east, the Island of Raasay can be seen with its distinctive conical hill, Dun Caan.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Lealt Falls, Portree Scotland

You can see the Lealt Falls following the short walk from the parking place. Just sit at the top of the cliff and enjoy the view.
Just a quick stop south of Staffin. A viewpoint allows a magnificent sight over the Mealt Falls and Kilt Rock. This is one of the top tourist locations on the Trotternish area.

Duration: 40 minutes

Stop At: The Old Man of Storr, Scotland

Old Man of Storr is famous for its magnificent scenery and views. It’s a popular spot for hikers, hill walkers and photographers. If you leave the crowd behind and walk right under the “Old Man” you can enjoy amazing views all by yourself!

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Kilt Rock, Scotland

The 90 metre Kilt Rock on the Trotternish Peninsula does look strikingly similar to a pleated kilt. Its has vertical basalt columns that form the pleats and intruded sills of dolerite forming the pattern. From the cliff-top viewpoint you can also get a nice look at Mealt Falls, a waterfall that plummets 328 feet (100 m) over Kilt Rock to the rock-laden shoreline below. If you listen closely, you can hear the whistle made by the falls as the water crashes down. Similar to a bagpipe’s eerie tunes, this whistle becomes even more dramatic on a particularly windy day.

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Quiraing Viewfield Road, Portree IV51 9ES Scotland

Quiraing is an icon of Scotland! The complete hill circuit is about 6, 5 km/4 miles long and it takes you around the Prison, Needle and other features. This place is another “must” when visiting the Isle of Skye.
