West Highlands and Isle of Skye
Scotland’s Western Highlands are a remote and captivating region, defined by dramatic mountain peaks, deep glens, and crystal-clear lochs. Steeped in Celtic heritage and timeless folklore, this is where Scotland’s wild beauty and spirit truly come alive. Just off the coast, the Isle of Skye enchants visitors with its rugged cliffs, mystical landscapes, and a sense of magic that feels otherworldly - a perfect complement to the Highlands’ untamed charm.

Alexandra Hotel, Fort William
Set on the shores of Loch Linnhe and Loch Eil, the Alexandra is just a few minutes’ walk from the high street. Due to the age and nature of this grand old building, all bedrooms are individual in size and shape. (lift)
Day One
Depart from your selected joining point and travel to the Alexandra Hotel, Fort William. Comfort stops will be made en-route.
Day Two
Take the scenic journey through the stunning Western Highlands, stopping for photos of Eilean Donan Castle, a renowned filming location. Then, cross the Skye Bridge to the 'misty' Isle of Skye, where you can soak in the magnificent landscapes and explore the charming capital, Portree.
Day Three
Travelling from Fort William to Oban along the coastal route is a breathtaking journey that hugs the shores of Loch Linnhe and Loch Creran, offering sweeping sea views and glimpses of rugged mountains and tranquil villages. When you arrive in Oban, you'll be greeted by its lively harbour, fresh sea air, and the irresistible aroma of locally caught seafood. Explore this charming seaside town; perhaps climb to McCaig's Tower for panoramic views, sample world-famous oysters, or take a stroll along the esplanade.
Day Four
Today, our coach will transport you to the bustling fishing port of Mallaig, before boarding a diesel train for the picturesque journey back to Fort William. Along the way, enjoy the breathtaking scenery of Loch Nevis, Loch Morar and of course the majestic Ben Nevis. This tranquil journey also crosses the iconic 21-arched Glenfinnan Viaduct, renowned from the Harry Potter films, which offers stunning views of the Jacobite Monument. The rest of the day can be spent in the highland town of Fort William.
Day Five
After breakfast you leave Fort William and travel home. Comfort stops will be made en-route.
