Adventure awaits as you depart Inverness, travelling through rugged mountains and shaded glens of the Great Glen, tracing the sparkling banks of Loch Ness, and crossing the historic Caledonian Canal.

You stop for a bit at Fort Augustus to stretch your legs and take some photos of the mysterious loch. Then, the road winds through one of the most iconic part of the Scottish Highlands, leading towards Glenfinnan.

Glenfinnan, a stunning glen nestled among mountains and overlooking Loch Shiel is home to two icons – the Glenfinnan Monument and the Glenfinnan Viaduct, beloved by Harry Potter fans. Here, you’ll have time to reflect on the Jacobite Uprising of 1745 and explore the monument or cast an eye at Loch Shiel and reimagine the scenes from the Prisoner of Azkaban. Keep an eye out for the Jacobite Steam Train, which occasionally puffs gracefully across the viaduct (operated by a third party and may not always appear). Whether or not the train appears, this enchanting glen will leave you spellbound by the beauty of the Highlands. Then, we get off-the-beaten track as we travel past a sea loch in western Lochaber and towards Lochailean with a lunch stop en route.

Travelling through the remote and beautiful Morvern Peninsula in Argyll and Bute, we pass rugged landscapes and atmospheric castle ruins on our way to the ferry from Lochaline to the Isle of Mull.

After landing on Mull, we take time for a refreshing walk. Aros Park, just outside Tobermory, offers waterfalls, forest trails, and the chance to spot wildlife such as red squirrels, deer, and even otters.

We then continue to your overnight base in the charming village of Tobermory.

Tobermory, Mull's vibrant capital, is yours to explore at your leisure this evening. With its brightly coloured waterfront houses, Tobermory, meaning “Well of Mary”, is often described as one of the most picturesque harbour towns in Scotland. It’s hard to imagine a better place to enjoy a fresh seafood dinner!
