Itinerary

1. Prepare to be captivated by the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands. Our journey will take us through a spectacular landscape of towering mountains, serene lochs, and green valleys until we reach the mysterious Rannoch Moor. Once there, we will venture into one of Scotland’s most iconic locations: Glencoe. This valley, wrapped in a magical atmosphere, hides a turbulent history of clans and conflict. You will have the opportunity to capture the majesty of the “Three Sisters,” three mountain peaks that rise imposingly over the glen. Film buffs can also try to spot famous movie locations. Glencoe has served as the backdrop for memorable scenes in "Harry Potter" and "James Bond," among many other productions.

About Edinburgh

Edinburgh, Scotland's capital, rises on volcanic hills, with a castle on a crag, a medieval Old Town and an elegant Georgian New Town.

Edinburgh Castle crowns Castle Rock and keeps the Honours of Scotland, the Scottish crown jewels. From there, the Royal Mile runs downhill through the Old Town, past St Giles' Cathedral and a warren of narrow closes, to the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Scottish Parliament. Arthur's Seat, an ancient volcano, rises above the palace with sweeping views.
