Your overnight stay will be in the highland ‘capital’ Inverness. There is a good selection of restaurants in the city but they can get busy and booking is essential. Your guide will be able to assist you.

Day 2 highlights include;-

• Clava Cairns a 3,500-year-old burial site
• Cairngorm National Park.

From there you have some options including a visit to Dalwhinnie distillery or alternatively a visit to Blair Atholl Castle. The castle is the ancestral home of the Clan Murray. Arriving in Perthshire, we will visit the pretty Victorian town of Pitlochry.  From there, we will then continue on to the Hermitage waterfall and Dunkeld Cathedral. Leaving Dunkeld behind we then make our way to your accommodation. And there sadly say our fond farewells.
