Description - What to expect

Your Glasgow to Loch Ness tour starts from the center of the city and travels north, before making a refreshment stop on the shores of Loch Lomond. Traveling the length of the loch, you climb up into the Highlands, over the unique, dramatic landscape of Rannoch Moor and the Black Mount to majestic Glencoe, one of Scotland's most haunting glens, the site of the 1692 massacre of the MacDonald clan.

Continuing via Loch Linnhe, your Glasgow to Loch Ness tour will stop in the Fort William area for lunch then continue into the natural beauty of the Great Glen as you pass beneath Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis. Traveling on, you will arrive in the pretty village of Fort Augustus where you have the chance to cruise Loch Ness or spend time at its shore.

At 24 miles long and 700 feet deep, Loch Ness is most famous for its sightings of the Loch Ness Monster, affectionately known as Nessie.

From Fort Augustus, your Glasgow to Loch Ness tour will start its return home, crossing the Grampian Mountains and the woodland scenery of Perthshire, including the Forest of Atholl, with an evening refreshment stop at the Victorian resort town of Pitlochry, en route back to Glasgow where your Glasgow to Loch Ness tour ends.
