Itinerary for 3 Days Scottish Highland Tours
Although our Highland Tour package is completely flexible and can be further customised to your preferences and schedule. Here’s what a basic three-day Highlands Tour looks like:
Day 1: Edinburgh/Glasgow to Inverness
Your Scottish Highlands Tour from Edinburgh/Glasgow starts with a private pickup, as you leave the city behind and head towards the dramatic landscapes of the Highlands. Your first stop is Stirling Castle, one of Scotland’s most important historic sites with incredible views and stories from Scotland's history, including the time of William Wallace.
From here, you will travel through the north west over Rannoch Moor, a vast and open landscape that feels untouched and wild. This part of the journey is all about the scenery-wide skies, quiet roads, and natural beauty as far as you can see.
Next, you are in one of the most famous and dramatic valleys in Scotland-Glencoe: known for its stunning mountains and deep history, a place where you’ll want to take photos and simply enjoy the surroundings.
As your Scottish highland tour continues, you’ll stop at the Commando Memorial near Fort William and later enjoy stunning views of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK. You’ll then travel to Fort Augustus at the southern end of Loch Ness, where you can see the impressive canal locks that connect the loch to the Caledonian Canal.
By evening, you arrive in Inverness, the cultural capital of the Highlands, where you will stay overnight. This first day lays the foundation for your entire Scottish Highland Tours experience- peaceful, memorable, and scenic.
Day 2: Inverness and Surroundings
Day two of your Highlands tour focuses on exploring some of its most famous attractions. Your second day starts with Clansman Harbour, where you’ll board a cruise on Loch Ness. While sailing across the deep, cold water, enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding hills and the legendary Nessie.
You’ll then stop at Urquhart Castle, one of the most photographed ruins in Scotland. Walking through the remains of the castle, you’ll get a real sense of its history and importance. If you’re looking for a more detailed experience, you can explore our Loch Ness boat tour for a deeper journey across the loch.
Next, you’ll visit Cawdor Castle, surrounded by garden and woodland; it’s a beautiful 14th-century home still lived in today, offering a peaceful contrast to the rugged Highland landscapes.
Continue your Scotland highland tour with a visit to Culloden Battlefield, where one of the most important battles in Scottish history took place. The visitor centre brings the past to life in a meaningful and engaging way.
Nearby, you’ll see Clava Cairns, a thousand-year-old burial site known for inspiring stories like Craigh na Dun. This site is both peaceful and fascinating. If you’re a fan of the series, explore even more locations on our Outlander Tour Scotland. By the end of your tour, you’ll return to Inverness for your second overnight stay.
Day 3: Inverness to Edinburgh/Glasgow
On the final day of your three-day Highlands Tour, you’ll start your journey back south through the stunning landscapes of Cairngorms National Park. This part of Scotland is filled with natural beauty-forests, mountains, and quiet roads that allow you to enjoy the Highlands at a relaxed pace.
Your first stop is the House of Bruar, often called Scotland’s most famous country store. Where you can take a break, enjoy refreshments, and browse local products. Your next visit is Queen’s View, one of the most iconic viewpoints in Scotland. Looking out across Loch Tummel, this spot offers one of the most photographed views in Scotland.
Continue to Pitlochry, a charming Victorian town, where you can enjoy a short stop before heading to Blair Athol Distillery. It’s one of the oldest working distilleries in Scotland, where you’ll get a glimpse into the country’s whisky-making tradition.
Your final stop is Scone Palace, a historic site where Scottish kings were crowned. Scone Palace is a highlight of this journey, but for travellers who want to explore more royal landmarks, we recommend our Scottish Castle Tour. You’ll return to Edinburgh or Glasgow as your Highland Tour comes to an unforgettable end.
