Glasgow & Scottish Highlands : Whistle-stop Tour

Yes, Glasgow may live in Edinburgh's shadow when it comes to tourism, but it would certainly be a mistake to ignore this fantastic city! Filled with wonderful museums, a treasure trove of grandiose Victorian architecture, a cool music scene and restaurants at the top of their game - there is plenty going on!

After immersing yourself in lively city life, hit the road to the Scottish Highlands, famed for their wild nature and staggering beauty. There are endless opportunities to hike in wild, remote glens, view an incredible array of wildlife and marvel at iconic castles. At almost every turn are epic vistas and awe inspiring landscapes. This whistle-stop tour will certainly leave you wanting more... a North Coast 500 adventure perhaps?!
