Itinerary

• Day 1: Edinburgh

• Day 2: Wallace Monument/Highlands/Loch Ness

  On day 2 we visit the Wallace Monument, commemorating William ‘Braveheart’ Wallace\'s stand against Edward II in the battle of Stirling Bridge. You\'ll also have the chance to admire the craggy mountain landscape of Glencoe and Rannach Moor.
  
  From there we travel Urquhart Castle, a romantic ruin perched on the shores of Loch Ness, also being according to legend home to the monster \'Nessie\'.

• Day 3: Culloden/Pilotchry/Whisky Distillery

  On the third day of your tour, we go to the site of the last highland charge, Culloden Moor, where you will visit both Culloden Battlefield and Exhibition.
  
  Then on to Pilotchry set under the dramatic skyline of Ben Vrackie.

  The final Highland visit will be to a whisky distillery for a wee sample of a dram! .
