About this tour

Discover the natural beauty of the Scottish Highlands on a full-day tour from Edinburgh. See the Glenfinnan Viaduct, made famous in the Harry Potter movies, and explore the valley of Glencoe.

Leave your hotel and head north into the mysterious Scottish Highlands, traveling through the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park towards your first stop, the village of Tyndrum. Stop here for a much-needed coffee break and a quick stretch of the legs.

Head away from Tyndrum and continue northwards deeper into the Western Highlands. Your route will take you over the enchanting Rannoch Moor, one of the last remaining wildernesses in Europe, before descending into the cinematic landscapes of Glencoe.

Stop and explore the impressive scenery in more detail. This valley is not only a testament to Scotland’s natural wonders but also echoes with tales of clan warfare and resilience, set against a backdrop that feels as if it could be part of a magical saga.

Head to the highlight of your tour, the Glenfinnan Viaduct – a 21-arch railway crossing, made famous in the Harry Potter movie series. Hopefully, you’ll have arrived in time to witness the Steam Train making its iconic crossing as part of its daily adventure on the West Highland Line.

Also here, investigate the Glenfinnan Monument and St Finnan’s Church on the shore of Loch Shiel. From Glenfinnan, head back towards the town of Fort William for lunch. The town is the second largest settlement in the highlands, nestled in the shadow of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles.

Stop here for lunch, where you’ll find plenty of locally run cafes and restaurants to choose from. From Fort William, head back to Glencoe. This time, stop and explore the impressive scenery in more detail.

Our final stop will be within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. An area of outstanding natural beauty, you’ll see why the loch and the surrounding area has inspired artists, poets, and writers throughout the centuries.

From this part of Scotland, travel back towards your hotel.
