Top 5 Western Highlands Full-Day Tours: Reviews & Insights

Scottish Highlands landscape

Okay, so you’re thinking of going to the Scottish Highlands, right? Fantastic choice, if you ask me! I mean, those towering mountains, that glistening water, and a past positively dripping with stories… it’s basically calling your name for a day trip that will blow you away. You are wondering about the bunch of full-day trips on offer. To that end, let’s go over some trips. Now, because choosing the trip that’s right can be somewhat overwhelming, I’ve compiled some suggestions, that too based on exploring this awesome place. They really do cover a bit of something for just about everyone. Get ready to find your ultimate Highlands escapade! I have got your reviews on them right here. This trip that really got me was the Loch Ness one. Seriously, I wasn’t sure if the monster would turn up, so you know it adds the right atmosphere.

1. Loch Ness, Glencoe & the Highlands Tour

Loch Ness tour

If there’s one trip everyone has heard of, too it’s this one! I mean the combination? With legendary Loch Ness, so brooding Glencoe, as well as the sweeping Highlands all in one go? It’s nearly picture-perfect. Actually, this is one of the classic experiences. As a matter of fact, on most tours, you’ll roll past lochs and castles. It might also include that spooky, infamous Loch Ness! Did the guide regale everyone with stories of Nessie? Almost definitely! Stopping in Glencoe, in some respects, is often what people remember the most.

Glencoe really gives a sense of what this country had seen. You sort of get this sensation that the hills had seen it all, almost. What stands out is that guides fill people in with tales from these spots, as well as any movie buffs. Do these movies come to mind, too? *cough* *James Bond and Harry Potter*, usually! Getting photos is a thing of course, that’s why they give the travellers some time to do it at each site. Is there really anything better than remembering your trip through beautiful stills of Glencoe? Of course not. Also keep an eye open for all of the awesome wildlife, right!

2. Skye and Eilean Donan Castle Day Trip

Skye and Eilean Donan Castle

This one I am saying is a bit more of a trek, right! But, that’s balanced out by really amazing scenery. I really feel Skye needs its own week, or even a month to be fair, so if you’re pressed for time, too this tour offers what you’d need. What it tends to include will be highlights. Maybe the Old Man of Storr and also the Fairy Pools, if there’s the inclination. Typically, tours going to the Isle of Skye really do try to show how dramatic, stunning the land looks there. The real treat, it could be said is that Eilean Donan Castle. Maybe you have spotted that one on posters? It can usually happen to be standing there looking fantastic right at the meeting of three lochs! The thing to remember is to charge all your gadgets!

Are you a person who enjoys places linked with stories? Almost every castle ends up having stories associated with it, basically. Eilean Donan just takes you there; the spot looks, in some respects, almost from another dimension! If you want some culture with great natural beauty? Skye needs to be one you plan! The thing to think about if time may be limited on Skye. Should you decide on going? Consider just coming back at another time? Well, if you only had a day or two, go and get some good times and beautiful photographs in!

3. Oban, Loch Lomond & Inveraray Day Tour

Oban, Loch Lomond & Inveraray

Want something that shows off a gentler type of scenery? It really could be said to be this itinerary then. It actually covers three great locations. Loch Lomond first, a place where hillsides touch along the biggest body of water anywhere on this land! A boat outing, anyway, is optional to enjoy views from out on these waves; it could be fun. Moving onward, and arriving to be in Inveraray may take you away to a spot next to that lovely Loch Fyne! The castle there, that too belonging to a Duke from Argyll might even surprise you by showing off so much.

It’s usually worth an investigation, if that’s something you want to do! Just a little further to the coast, is that spot called Oban! Here the fish is awesome. At any rate, have some there! Does one get a feeling for some coastal villages? More or less; this may be a better daytrip pick! With, apparently, this route, you get to see many more things away from those very popular spots, but actually so so picturesque. Anyway, should there be the expectation of less other vacationers? Yes definitely, generally. I usually end up preferring this as opposed to just Loch Ness, and that says something!

4. Stirling Castle & Loch Lomond Day Trip

Stirling Castle & Loch Lomond

How about going to something so tied into its history? I actually suggest the Stirling Castle. Seriously, in that, some pivotal moments throughout this region’s whole thing? Did it happen right here for some battles, or even coronations? Most of them did, typically! Plus seeing Stirling offers more opportunities in visiting somewhere that will be steeped right in dramatic beauty along its Highlands, so you will also see places like the Trossachs. One gets to see why this region has earned it such an alias ‘as where that Highlands tend to meet right up within our Lowlands’, really! At the same time, one needs to allow oneself extra periods just to check Loch Lomond down here on this thing. Usually, it seems very serene and picturesque, honestly.

The thing you’ll like on this outing? The option you are provided in selecting a relaxed stroll or doing like more serious hikes, right! Seriously; there might very likely get a thing that could simply be fit regarding a thing anyone may be preferring in how far you tend of heading beyond for. In particular; should a more deeply cultural history and really stunning Highlands appeal with your tastes there too very specifically? It really is this day voyage here just too well. So, very great should anyone appreciate all something rooted historically besides all having really beautiful vista at all there generally so definitely.

5. Glencoe, The Highlands & Jacobite Steam Train Day Trip
