Itinéraire :

Day 1: Edinburgh- Portree
Depart Edinburgh at 9am and travel west, passing Linlithgow Palace and Stirling, with its imposing castle and views of the Wallace Monument. Pass Doune Castle, the set of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, before stopping in Callander for refreshments. Crossing into the Highlands,head north toward the glorious scenery surrounding Loch Luibnaig, then through Breadalbane (meaning the "high country of Scotland") and up to the wild desolation of Rannoch Moor. Continue through the spectacular mountain pass of Glencoe, scene of the great massacre of the Clan Macdonald in 1692.

Leaving Fort William after lunch, you’ll drive past Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis, and into the Great Glen. Traveling west on the "Road to the Isles," head through the splendor of the Five Sisters of Kintail, the mountains that guard the pass on the way to the Isle of Skye. Stop to visit the famous Eilean Donan Castle, one of Scotland's most photographed castles, set at the junction of three lochs and completely surrounded by water. Crossing over the bridge to Skye, follow the dramatic coastline north toward the island's capital, Portree. You are then dropped off at your accommodation in the early evening, when you are free to go out and explore the town.

Day 2: Portree
Today is a flexible day on Skye. There are many possibilities depending on the weather, and your knowledgeable driver/guide will help you plan the best itinerary for you on that particular day. North of Portree is the Trotternish ridge with its spectacular cliffs and rock formations, such as the famous landmark the Old Man of Storr, the impressive sea cliff, Kilt Rock and the stunning mountain pass of the Quiraing. It’s amazing natural scenery, which is best enjoyed away from the van by taking a walk through this unique landscape.

Further west, the scenery changes again with the emerald green valley of Glendale, the dramatic sea cliffs of Neist Point (the most westerly point on the island, where you might get lucky and spot some whales or sharks!)and the 13th-century home of the Clan Macleod, Dunvegan Castle. You return to Portree in the evening.

There is a boat trip (April to October only; price not included) available here that will get you a bit closer!

Then head south through the Grampian mountains along Loch Laggan, famous as "Monarch of the Glen Country," before passing Dalwhinnie, home to Scotland's highest whisky distillery.
