Inverness & Isle of Skye 4 Day Tour

Tour Highlights ( Idea Tour )

Completely Customisable

Highland History: Cross the UNESCO World Heritage Forth Bridges, stroll the Old Course in medieval St Andrews, visit the ancient tombs of Clava Cairns and Culloden Battlefield, where the Jacobites made their last stand in 1746. This compact itinerary is a great introduction to our private multi day tours if you want Inverness and Skye in just four days.

Wild Wester Ross: Hike to Rogie Falls through ancient pine forests, drive through the 4-billion-year-old Torridon mountains, stop in Shieldaig and take on the Bealach na Bà, the steepest road in Scotland.

The Isle of Skye Your Way: From the Quiraing and the Old Man of Storr to Portree and Dunvegan Castle—or off the beaten track via the Kylerhea ferry, Glenelg and a boat trip around Plockton Harbour.

Outlander on the Way Home: Visit Tibbermore Church, scene of the witch trial, and the medieval village of Falkland with its 14th-century palace, frequented by Mary, Queen of Scots.

Tour Description

Day 1: Edinburgh to Inverness & Loch Ness

We head out of the city to the magnificent Forth Bridges at South Queensferry, a UNESCO World Heritage site, then over the Queensferry Crossing to the Kingdom of Fife. We visit the historic medieval town of St Andrews and take a stroll on the Old Course before heading north over the Tay Bridge to Dundee and on into Perthshire and the Highlands.

If we have time, we visit the ancient tombs of Clava Cairns. We leave the best until last: Culloden Battlefield, a sacred place in Scotland, where the Jacobites faced their last stand against overwhelming odds in 1746.

Day 2: Inverness to Skye (via Torridon)

A stunning drive north and a short hike to the lovely Rogie Falls through some of Scotland’s ancient and rare pine forests. Heading west on the most beautiful of roads in wild Wester Ross, we pass through the 4-billion-year-old Torridon mountains (give or take a year or two).

A wee break in the beautiful village of Shieldaig before heading up the Bealach na Bà, the steepest road in Scotland. We arrive on Skye via the bridge in the late afternoon.

Day 3: Isle of Skye Day Tour

Discover an embarrassment of riches on the Isle of Skye, from the stunning Quiraing and the Old Man of Storr to Portree and Dunvegan Castle. There are so many routes and different things to see—your guide will chat to you about all of the options, including meeting faeries and giants!

Alternatively, a very pleasant tour taking in the Kylerhea ferry to Glenelg to discover stunning Lochalsh off the beaten track, with a lovely afternoon boat trip around Plockton Harbour.

Day 4: Plockton to Edinburgh

Heading south towards Perth, we divert into the countryside to Tibbermore Church, the scene of the witch trial for Claire and Geillis Duncan in Outlander.

Then to the Kingdom of Fife and the stunning medieval village of Falkland, where Frank sees the ghost of Jamie in season 1, episode 1. Here you can also visit 14th-century Falkland Palace, frequented by Mary, Queen of Scots.
