      Day 1: Rannoch Moor, Glencoe & Fort William

      Edinburgh - Glencoe - Fort William. As we head out of Edinburgh, we travel north west, stopping to admire The Kelpies. These 30-metre high sculptures depict horse heads, and opened to the public in 2013. We make a lunch stop before continuing our drive, passing by lochs, rivers and lush forests. We cross eerily beautiful Rannoch Moor, stopping for photos at the most scenic spots. Reaching Glencoe, we have time to admire the mountain vistas and learn about the 1692 Glencoe Massacre. Around 30 members of Clan MacDonald of Glencoe were slaughtered here for failing to pledge allegiance to King William III and Mary II. Skirting the edge of Loch Linnhe, we reach our accommodation in Fort William, a highland town on the shore of the loch.

      Day 2: Harry Potter & Isle Of Skye

      Fort William - Skye. Weโ€™re in for a treat today, as we see the iconic Glenfinnan Viaduct. This is one of the worldโ€™s most famous stretches of railway, having starred in the โ€™Harry Potterโ€™ series as the route taken by the Hogwarts Express en route to the magical school. We also see a famous monument commemorating the Jacobites who died fighting for their cause. Reaching Mallaig, we take the ferry to the Isle of Skye, the largest of the Inner Hebrides (please note that during the winter months (October till the end of March) we take a scenic route through Kyle of Lochalsh and drive over the Skye Bridge instead of the ferry). Our afternoon is spent exploring the dramatic Sleat Peninsula. Marvel at the cascading waterfalls of Glenbrittle and the scenic Cuillin Mountains before we reach our overnight base in the Lochalsh area. Accommodation: Caledonian B&B, Duirinish B&B or similar
