From Glasgow: Highlands Small Group Day Trip with Loch Ness Cruise

Your tour begins at Glasgow Buchanan Bus Station

Meet your driver-guide at Glasgow Buchanan Bus Station on Killermont Street, then board a comfortable 16-seat mini-coach. Settle in as the city fades and the rugged Scottish Highlands slowly rise up ahead.

Skirt the shores of Loch Lomond

Leaving Glasgow behind, follow the banks of Loch Lomond inside Scotland's first national park. Framed by mountains and dotted with over 30 islands, this famous loch has inspired songs for centuries.

Cross the wilds of Rannoch Moor and Glencoe

Heading north, traverse the vast peat bogs of Rannoch Moor, unique wetlands formed by layers of spongy, partially decayed plant matter, before reaching Glencoe. Your guide shares the tragic tale of the MacDonald clan, whose story has haunted this dramatic valley for over 300 years.

Pass beneath Ben Nevis and the Great Glen

Next, the road winds into the Great Glen, a vast fault line slicing across the Highlands. You'll pass beneath Ben Nevis, Britain's tallest mountain, as glacial valleys and rushing rivers frame the route.

Cruise Loch Ness from Fort Augustus

Arriving in Fort Augustus on the banks of Loch Ness, you'll have around 90 minutes of free time. During this time, grab lunch then hop aboard an included 50-minute cruise to scan the dark, deep waters for a glimpse of the legendary Nessie.
