Activity itinerary

Callander

  • 30m
Callander is a charming little town in central Scotland, often called the “Gateway to the Highlands.” Set on the edge of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, it’s surrounded by hills, rivers, and walking trails. It’s known for its relaxed vibe, Victorian-era character, and as a great base for exploring Highland scenery.

Kilchurn Castle

  • 45m
Kilchurn Castle is a dramatic 15th-century ruin set on a rocky peninsula at the northeastern end of Loch Awe in the Scottish Highlands. Once a stronghold of the Campbells of Glenorchy, it later served as a military garrison. With mountains rising behind it and water on all sides, it’s one of Scotland’s most striking castle views.

Oban

  • 1h 30m
Oban is a lively coastal town on Scotland’s west coast, often called the “Gateway to the Isles.” It’s known for its bustling harbour, fresh seafood, and views out towards the Inner Hebrides. With a mix of seaside charm and Highland scenery, Oban is a popular base for island hopping and exploring Argyll.

Inveraray

  • 1h 30m
Inveraray is a picturesque lochside town on Loch Fyne, known for its whitewashed buildings and historic charm. It’s home to the impressive Inveraray Castle and surrounded by classic Highland scenery.

Rest and be Thankful

  • 10m
Rest and Be Thankful is a famous mountain pass in the Scottish Highlands, winding through dramatic glens between Arrochar and Inveraray. Named after a stone where weary travellers once paused to rest, it offers sweeping views of rugged hills and deep valleys. Today it’s known for its striking scenery—and its steep, weather-prone road.
