Full Itinerary
Our most popular tour – ideal if you’re short on time but still want to explore some of Scotland’s most famous sights. Go Nessie hunting, discover ruined castles, stunning lochs, dramatic mountains and hear tales of Celtic myths and legends.

What is included in the price

The tour price covers transportation on our sexy buses and an even sexier tour guide to lead the way!  We also reserve all accommodation whilst on tour so a bed is guaranteed. Accommodation should be paid for on arrival at each hostel. Hostel prices are approximately £14 - £18 per night.

Travelling is all about choice. Unlike others we do not operate a restrictive kitty system, if you want to spend your budget differently to the next guy, that’s cool with us. We don’t believe in treating people like sheep and recognise everyone has their own likes and dislikes. Why pay for a meal you don’t want or entry to an attraction that’s not for you? With Haggis Adventures accommodation, meals and entrance fees are not included in the tour price allowing you to keep your options open. This means you can buy your own food to suit your tastes or miss out an attraction: it’s your choice!

Free Time

  • Take an evening boat cruise on Loch Ness and hunt for Nessie
  • Hire bikes from Morag’s Lodge, Loch Ness and explore the area
  • Taste some Haggis in a Highland pub washed down with a pint of local ale

Accommodation

Accommodation is guaranteed on all trips - we reserve the beds and you pay as you go. The price is between £15 and £20 per person per night in shared dorm accommodation. 

Itinerary

Day 1: Edinburgh to Loch Ness
We leave Scotland's capital and head to Stirling, home to legends such as William Wallace and Robert the Bruce and scene of many of Scotland’s most famous and bloody battles.  Our route north takes us through the dramatic & inspiring Glencoe, and if weather permits we may well take one of our legendary ‘wee walks’, before heading for Fort William - in the shadow of mighty Ben Nevis (Britain’s highest mountain). Travelling through the Great Glen we head for Fort Augustus. Staying on the banks of Loch Ness, in Fort Augustus tonight we discover a bit more of Highland history and culture, before trying to entice Nessie out for a wee dram!
 
Day 2: Loch Ness to Isle of Skye
Today we explore the magical Isle of Skye. Ruined castles, awesome scenery and home to the legendary MacLeod and MacDonald Clans.  Immersed in Celtic myths and legends, hear all about the Faeries and the Selkies, and local characters who have contributed to the rich history of this magical island.  Quite simply unmissable!   Our overnight destination is at a legendary 4 star hostel Morag's Lodge on the banks of Loch Ness with the best showers in the Highlands!
 
Day 3: Loch Ness to Edinburgh
Before heading south en route for Edinburgh, we follow the entire length of Loch Ness, searching for a priceless glimpse of the legendary beast.  We pass through Inverness, capital of the Highlands, and head for brooding Culloden Moor, sight of the defeat of Bonne Prince Charlie’s Jacobite uprising. After a bite to eat and perhaps another ‘wee walk’, we head south past Pitlochry, Dunkeld and Perth (amongst other things) before arriving back in Edinburgh at approximately 5.30pm. – An action packed fun filled and unforgettable 3 days!
