Il programma nel dettaglio

Day 1: The tour starts by heading north through the stunning lowland countryside of Fife and Perthshire. Take a woodland walk along the riverside at Dunkeld and visit its ancient cathedral, then travel into the heart of the Highlands and explore Loch Ness, where you can take a cruise (optional). Overnight: Drumnadrochit. Day 2: Day two takes you through the stunning scenery of Glen Affric. How about a stroll up to a stunning waterfall surrounded by ancient Caledonian forest? You then pass the Torridon Mountains, visit the stunningly beautiful Eilean Donan Castle (optional) and go on, over the sea, to the magical Isle of Skye. Day 3: You'll have the whole of the third day to explore Skye's mysteries and landscape. Here the mountains and beaches beckon, so lose your-self amongst the spectacular scenery of the Cuillin Mountains, the slanting hills of Quiraing and the incredible Trotternish Peninsula. Day 4: Day four sees you travelling south past Ben Nevis (Britain's tallest peak) and down the dramatic west coast and through the haunting landscape of Glen Coe (scene of the terrible massacre of the MacDonald Clan). Overnight: Oban. Day 5: On day five explore Scotland's ancient past at Kilmartin Glen, where over 5000 years of history are laid out before you. Walk in the footsteps of the first Scots at Dunadd Hill fort and the Temple Wood Stone Circle.
