About this tour

Discover the splendour of the western Highlands on a coach tour of Skye & Eilean Donan, and fall in love with Scotland's spectacular scenery at every step along the way. Witness mother nature in all her rugged glory as you breeze across crumbling coastlines, airy glens, and vast sweeping valleys. Rising early, like a Scottish grouse, you'll leave the city limits of Inverness in a comfy tour bus and make your way along the Great Glen Fault Line towards Loch Ness. Here you can do some drive-by monster-spotting, and admire the grandeur of Castle Urquhart in the distance. Continue through the dramatic Highland scenery to the west coast and the breathtaking Eilean Donan Castle. The beauty of Skye and the Trotternish Peninsula will steal whatever's left of your breath, with majestic vistas and strange geological formations like the Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock, and the Quiraing. You'll also have a chance to see the dramatic ruins of Castle Moil, the Skye Bridge, Eilean Ban and more, before heading home with a camera and head full of postcard-perfect memories.
