Day 1: Edinburgh to Oban
Kick off your adventure in Edinburgh and head west to the Kelpies, towering over the landscape. On the way, we’ll pass Stirling, with views of Wallace Monument and Stirling Castle. Into the Highlands we go, stopping at Doune Castle (Outlander & Game of Thrones) and the iconic Glen Coe. End the day in Oban, where the freshest seafood and local tunes await.

Day 2: Oban to Isle of Skye
Keep an eye out for Ben Nevis as we head north, then marvel at the Glenfinnan Viaduct, aka the ‘Harry Potter Bridge.’ Cross off your bucket list with a ride on the famous Hogwarts Express, and later hop on a ferry to Skye. We’ll wrap up the day at a cozy pub with a dram and good vibes.

Day 3: Isle of Skye
Explore the magical and mystical Isle of Skye with its waterfalls, ancient peaks, and legendary tales of the faerie folk and warriors of the past. We’ll stop for a pic of Eilean Donan Castle, the most photographed castle in Scotland, then head to Inverness via the Dundreggan Rewilding Centre, where we settle for the evening.

Day 4: Loch Ness and the Highlands
Try your luck spotting Nessie from a cruise boat equipped with sonar and legends, or explore the Loch on foot. Visit famous Outlander locations such as Beauly Priory, Clava Cairns, and the haunting Culloden Battlefield, before returning to Inverness for more shenanigans on your own time.

Day 5: Loch Ness to Edinburgh
We add a bit more culture and history as we experience Highland life at the Highland Folk Museum before we taste Scotland’s finest whisky! Stroll through Dunkeld, visit its gorgeous cathedral, and return to Edinburgh in the evening.
