Overview
Leaving from Inverness, we will travel on the Great Glen, reaching the little village of Drumnadrochit on the shores of Loch Ness.
After our visit, we will head west to reach the romantic Eilean Donan castle after about an hour and a half drive. Visit in the castle and lunch is a must.
On the second part of our journey we will cross over to the Island of Skye and Portree and experience the island life.
Please note that this is a long day and it would be ideal as a day tour rather then a shore excursion but if you would like it to be a shore excursion it can be altered to suit your requirements.
This tour can be booked from Inverness, Invergordon or Portree with the necessary alterations.
