DAY ONE – Arrival

We depart from your home and travel north to Scotland with comfort stops en route. Arriving at our hotel before dinner this evening.

 

DAY TWO – Highland Wildlife Park and Cairngorm Reindeer Centre

After a leisurely breakfast we’ll head this morning the short distance to the Highland Wildlife Park. We discover Scottish wildlife and endangered animals of the world's mountains and tundra in a spectacular setting. We’ll explore the drive through reserve in our coach and then you can investigate the walk-round area on foot. The park has a wide and diverse range of animals, from native species such as the Scottish wildcat to those from further afield such as the amur tiger and polar bear. Continuing our adventure of the wild we’ll then head to the Cairngorm Reindeer Centre and see the reindeer in the paddocks. There is an accessible walk around the paddocks and lots of information about every aspect of reindeer to discover. We’ll head back to our hotel this afternoon for tea/coffee and cakes this afternoon, and time to relax before dinner this evening.

 

DAY THREE – Inverness and Aviemore

Today we have a scenic drive to Inverness travelling through Aviemore before making our way further north to Inverness the largest city, and the cultural capital of the Highlands. Its old town features the 19th century Inverness Cathedral and an indoor Victorian Market offering a wide range and variety of top-quality products, in a wonderful Victorian style building.

 

DAY FOUR – Fort William and West Highland Museum

This morning we’ll travel west to Fort William passing by Loch Laggan and through Spean Bridge, calling at the iconic Commando Memorial before continuing our journey to Fort William. Here we visit the West Highland Museum, where we have a guided tour. The museum is situated in the heart of the historic town, and the collection tells the story of the region and its history.

 

The most renowned and unusual collection relates to Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobite cause. But the museum also holds a wealth of curious and fascinating collections relating to less well-known aspects of the lives of the people of the West Highlands, from the effects of political warfare to the economic impact of tourism in the region, and the coming of the industrial and modern age. We later return to our hotel with time to relax before dinner this evening.

 

DAY FIVE – Departure

After breakfast this morning we leave our hotel and make our journey home with comfort stops en route.
