On this twelve-hour tour, you'll set off from Edinburgh in the morning and drive around the Scottish countryside.

As you head north past Linlithgow Palace and Stirling Castle, your guide will share Scottish folklore and tales of historical figures such as William Wallace. The first stop will be in the town of Callender, the gateway to Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. From there, you'll set out to explore the typical Scottish countryside full of lochs and glens.

As you proceed to the Scottish Highlands, you'll reach the glacial valley of Glencoe. You'll journey farther to Fort Augustus on the shores of Loch Ness, where your guide will narrate the legend of the mythical monster known as 'Nessie'. On your way back to Edinburgh, you'll travel past Cairngorms National Park, Loch Laggan and the 13th-century Blair Castle.
