Enjoy an adventure to Scotland's idyllic Outer Hebrides and The Highlands on a tour that takes in the UK's most famous train line, the West Highland Line, as well as time in Stornoway.
You arrive in Glasgow today to meet your fellow travellers and Tour Manager.
Enjoy a journey on the magnificent West Highland Line from Glasgow to Fort William today. This spectacular rail journey travels under the gaze of moody mountains and over stone bridges on a route which takes in the best of the wild and dramatic landscapes of the Scottish Highlands. This rail journey is widely regarded as one of the finest in the world.
We continue on the West Highland Line from Fort William to Mallaig today. This stunning section is wellknown for its appearance in the Harry Potter films and provides astonishing views of the brooding forests and ancient glens of central Scotland as it passes by Ben Nevis, the tallest mountain in the UK as well as Loch Nevis, the deepest freshwater lake in Europe. On arrival in Mallaig, we continue by coach through Skye and by ferry to the Outer Hebrides and Stornoway.
We take a full-day coach excursion today visiting the Butt of Lewis, Port of Ness, the Callanish Standing Stones and the visitors centre. The stones were erected in the late Neolithic period and were used for rituals during the Bronze Age. We are accompanied by our specialist local guide Chris Ryan.
We take the coach driving through Uists today, breaking for lunch at the Stepping Stones Restaurant, before later stopping at the Kildonnan Museum.
We enjoy a delightful sightseeing tour of pretty Stornoway this morning, ahead of our ferry that takes us from Stornoway to Ullapool. From here, we transfer by coach to Inverness in time for dinner.
After a morning at leisure, perhaps to wander around the historic streets of Inverness, transfer by coach to the train station, where we journey across Scotland to Glasgow. Here, we enjoy a final farewell meal together.
Following breakfast this morning you are free to depart at your leisure.
The Outer Hebrides section of the tour is guided by a local specialist guide Chris Ryan. Chris came to live on the Isle of Lewis in 1993, taking up residence in his wife's croft which had been in her family for many generations. Chris was the first professional guide on the Isle of Lewis.
