Overview

Head out on an adventure unlike any other. This is a day of adventuring and exploring, taking in the sights of the Scottish Highlands and searching for the elusive, legendary monster known as Nessie. 

Leaving in the early morning you’ll pass the imposing Sterling castle as you head towards your ultimate destination. This is Rob Roy country here, and your expert guide is on hand to give you all the details of this region’s brutal past. You’ll carry on through Fort William, so keep an eye out for the mighty Ben Nevis, reaching up towards the sky.

Once at Fort Augustus, on the banks of Loch Ness, your monster hunting begins. Take a boat cruise, go for a walk along the lochs banks and keep an eye out for the monster. 

Your journey back takes in more stunning countryside and wee villages before returning across the Firth of Forth to your drop off. Monster spotting or not, this is a day to soak up the Scottish scenery, learn the history and enjoy an adventure. What a day!
