From here, visitors can also see Ben Lomond, Scotland’s most southerly Munro, which is a mountain over 3000 feet high.
- Glencoe - Glencoe is known for its role in one of the most notorious events in Scottish history, the Glencoe massacre of 1692. The breathtaking scenery is a must-see for visitors. We will visit the Glencoe Visitor Centre to allow time to explore the history of the glen. The centre also features a turf house, offering a glimpse into the life of the 500-600 strong community that lived in 17th century Glencoe.
The journey through the glen occurs twice (morning and evening), with stops for photos and to appreciate the landscape.
- Fort William - Nestled in the shadow of Ben Nevis, Fort William is a charming holiday town. The tour passes through the town in the morning to join the enchanting ‘Road to the Isles’.
- Glenfinnan Viaduct - Ample time is allocated to visit Glenfinnan, where the views are truly spectacular. The 21 arches of the magnificent Glenfinnan Viaduct curve through the glen, famously depicted as the route to Harry Potter’s Hogwarts. From April 2 to October, the aim is to reach the viaduct in time to witness the Jacobite Steam Train crossing. The Glenfinnan Monument, located at the head of Loch Shiel, was erected in 1815 to honor the Jacobites who fought and died for Bonnie Prince Charlie. Visitors will also have the opportunity to pay entrance to visit the monument if desired.
- Ardlui - After traveling back through Glencoe & Rannoch Moor, the final stop of the evening is in the heart of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, where visitors can enjoy an early evening refreshment before returning to Glasgow.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! - I had a fantastic time visiting Glenfinnan Viaduct, Glencoe & Loch Shiel with Clyde as my tour guide. He was very informative, had a wealth of fun facts and a brilliant sense of humor. I was extremely impressed by the punctuality of the tour, breathtaking views and the smoothness of travel. I came upon Discover Scotland when I was doing research for Harry Potter themed spots in the Scottish Highlands and the reviews sounded amazing and the tour did not disappoint. I was a single person on the tour and met several nice people on the tour who I later had a meal with after the tour. Thank you Discover Scotland for an incredible experience! I wish you so much success for the future.

Bring cash! - We had an excellent time on this tour. First though, a tip: Bring cash! We only had a card and the machines weren't working at our first refreshment stop so, no tea for us. Stuart was very kind and actually added a quick stop at a place with a cash machine. We were super grateful because it meant we would be able to get lunch even if the machines were down at the lunch stop! We should know better and we appreciated that Stuart didn't make us feel any more stupid than we already felt! Because the train wasn't running yet, Stuart took us to a couple of extra places to take pictures and enjoy the truly breathtaking scenery. A friend asked me if one of my photos was real. That's how amazing Glencoe and the rest of the area is to photograph and enjoy. We loved every minute of this tour from the commentary to the scenery. It was the highlight of our, already fabulous, trip. Thanks so much to Stuart.

A good way to see the Scottish Highlands - We went on the one-day small coach tour from Edinburgh. The coach was comfortable. The stops along the route to Glenfinnan Viaduct were well-spaced, scenic, and historic. Stuart Sawer was our driver and guide. Stuart is very knowledgeable. His narrations brought the scenes to life, and his personal experinces as a mountain hiker added insight. Our only (minor) complaint is that the the route back from Glenfinnan is too long between stops and less scenic/historic. It is only saved by an extended visit to the hairy cow farm. If you are visiting Scotland and staying in Edinburgh or Glascow, getting out of the city and seeing the Scottish Highlands is a must. This is an easy, inexpensive (under 70 pounds for seniors) way to do it in a day.

Great time to Glenfynnan - It was a beautiful adventure visiting that part of Scotland, despite it’s a long way, we enjoyed it. Our tour leader, Billy, a nice guy, made a few stops to make photos and grab a coffee. We had a really good time!!
