Day 1 Depart Glasgow at 09.00 travel north towards the Highlands along the “bonnie, bonnie” banks of Loch Lomond. This is Scotland's largest loch and it takes its name from the mountain Ben Lomond on the eastern shore.
Crossing the ancient natural fault line that runs across Scotland you travel into the majestic Highlands where the scenery changes quickly and dramatically - the flat fertile plains of the Lowlands give way to shimmering lochs, rugged mountain tops and forest-filled glens. It's easy to forget that this was once thought of as a dangerous frontier fought over by the fiercely territorial Highland clans such as the MacGregors, made famous by the Highland folk hero, Rob Roy MacGregor.
From here we travel north over the wild and remote Rannoch Moor into Glencoe. This haunting glen was the scene of a great massacre in 1692 where many of the Clan Macdonald were slaughtered. We stop in this imposing mountain pass and take you for a walk so you can enjoy the spectacular views.
We continue north and up the Great Glen to the mysterious beauty of Loch Ness, travelling the whole 23 miles of the famous Loch - plenty of time to try and spot "Nessie!" We arrive at our destination of Inverness at approx 1830 where you will be dropped off at your booked accommodation. The evening is free for you to explore the capital of the Highlands.
Day 2 You will be picked up from your accommodation between 0900 & 0930 in Inverness and head west towards glorious Glen Affric. This is a stunning area where the River Affric flows down through a dramatic gorge, surrounded on all sides by the beautiful Caledonian pine forest (one of the only remaining areas of Caledonian pine in Scotland, this has now been made into a nature reserve). We can spend some time here and enjoy a walk through the forest, alongside the River Affric.
From Glen Affric, we go east to Drumnadrochit, stopping for photos of Urquhart Castle with it's mighty ruins overlooking Loch Ness. We will spend our lunchtime on the southern shore of the Loch in the charming village of Fort Augustus. The Caledonian Canal which links the lochs of the Great Glen dominates the town and makes a great place to relax and watch the boats sail by.
We then travel South towards Loch Laggan and into the Cairngorms National Park, a mountainous area of wild land, forests lochs and glens. We continue south past Blair Castle, stopping in the lovely town of Pitlochry before returning via Stirling to Glasgow. Arrive approx. 19.00.

I and my other 3 friends really enjoy the tour!! The two-day tour had only four of us, but Rabbie's still gave us a mini-coach and the best service. The scenery is beautiful, and our guide Eddie is sooooo nice! My English is not so good, but when I listened to him telling us stories and history, I just felt like listening to a radio programme! He is nice and funny! I highly recommend Rabbie's and guide Eddie!

James's vast knowledge and command of Scottish history, geography, flora, fauna, myths and legends, is absolutely astounding. His sense of humor, wit, and passion for what he does so extraordinarily well, made this trip the best experience we had in Scotland.
