6 Day Hebridean Explorer - Vyjížďka autobusem v

Popis: Day 1 - Leaving Edinburgh we head straight up to the Highlands via Stirling and the Trossachs forests (“Braveheart Country”). Hear all about William Wallace, Robert the Bruce and Rob Roy MacGregor. Then it’s into magnificent Glencoe (the massacre of Clan MacDonald) and beautiful Glenshiel, and up to Eilean Donan Castle (where Highlander was filmed) – you’ll hear all the history and legends, with plenty of time off the bus.

Day 2 – We start off with a fantastic seafood & seal spotting cruise with a local fisherman, followed by a full and active day round the Isle of Skye, with lots of walks and time to take in the magic. You’ll see the Cuillin Mountains, the Old Man of Storr (an incredible Jurassic pillar) and hear some amazing legends, visit the fascinating Kilt Rock, and take in absolutely awe-inspiring panoramas in the Quirang. Later on this evening we will take the stunning ferry journey over to the Isle of Harris where we will spend the evening on the south part of the island at Am Botham a 5* bunkhouse.

Day 3 – The morning will be spent on Harris checking out Rodel Church, great coastal walks and some of the best beaches (yes, we have beaches !), in the world. Then we make our way up into Lewis and over to the west coast where an amazing original thatched Blackhouse (renovated for comfort!) is our home for the next 2 nights.

Day 4 - A great day on Lewis with time spent at Bosta, a recently discovered Iron Age fort, the amazing 4,000 year old Callanais Standing Stones (second only to Stonehenge), exploring the ancient Brochs (fortified dwelling houses) of the Hebrides and witnessing the traditional making of Harris tweed! Then if we have enough energy left late afternoon (of course we will!) there is a superb coastal walk to Dalmore bay, next to the Blackhouse.

Day 5 - This morning you will have time to spend in Stornoway, the capital of Lewis, before taking the ferry back to the mainland. Then our destination is Loch Ness, stopping at the wild Corrieshalloch Gorge and the rambling Rogie Falls. The hostel we stay at is within walking distance of the infamous Loch (so midnight strolls to Urquhart castle are feasible!).

Day 6 – It’s another full day with some time at Loch Ness before an emotional visit to tragic Culloden Battlefield. On our way south we will visit a traditional Whisky distillery and spend some time exploring Highland Perthshire. Finally it’s over the Firth of Forth in the shadow of our impressive rail bridge then back to Edinburgh, tired and happy Scotland fans!
