Whether you're intent on finding Nessie or just want to soak up the beautiful surroundings of the Scottish Highlands, this Loch Ness tour from Edinburgh is for you.
Departing at 08:00, you'll pass the imposing ramparts of Stirling Castle and drive through the Trossachs National Park – Rob Roy country.
You'll cross the wilds of Rannoch Moor before stopping at dramatic Glencoe, the scene of the infamous massacre in 1692. The journey takes you through Fort William, passing Ben Nevis – Britain’s highest mountain – before entering the Great Glen.
Arriving in Fort Augustus on the banks of Loch Ness, you can take a boat cruise on the loch, go for a walk, or relax by the Caledonian Canal in this charming Highland village.
The return journey takes you past shimmering Loch Laggan before climbing over the wild and lonely Drumochter Pass in the Cairngorms National Park.
Heading south, you'll enter Perthshire, a land of forests, rivers, and mountains, where you'll stop in a village. Your group will continue south over the Firth of Forth to view the spectacular Forth Bridges, before arriving back in Edinburgh around 20:00 at Waterloo Place.
