Enjoy some of Scotland’s most beautiful lochs, glens and mountains as we tour through the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park to visit the attractive town of Oban, in the heart of the beautiful Western Highlands.
Our journey takes us northwards through the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park with its lochs and mountains and into the Highlands. From Edinburgh and Glasgow we make our way through Rob Roy country towards the little Highland village of Tyndrum. Next we travel through Glen Lochy to romantic Kilchurn Castle, which stands guard at the head of Loch Awe. For years Loch Awe was a natural protection for the Campbells of Inveraray against their enemies from the North.
Oban is a picturesque fishing port set on the Firth of Lorn. We have plenty of time to discover this bustling town and enjoy the views towards the Island of Kerrera and the Inner Hebrides beyond.
The 3rd Duke of Argyll built the “new” town of Inveraray between 1746 and 1780 at the head of Loch Fyne. The town sits in the shadow of his castle and, as we will discover, this pleasant town retains much of its 18th Century charm.
Our journey continues by way of Loch Long then over the dramatic “Rest and be Thankful” mountain pass to the gentle scenery of the “bonnie, bonnie banks” of Loch Lomond. Our enjoyable drive will afford wonderful views of Loch Lomond before we make our way to Glasgow and then Edinburgh.
