Let us transport you to another world! Romantic Scotland -
From the moment you arrive in Glasgow (or Edinburgh) be ready to whisked away to the Highlands with our knowledgeable but unobtrusive driver/guide. Fully attired in kilt and sgian dubh, he will show you the Western Highlands of Scotland on this wonderful trip. The tour starts with the romantic setting of Loch Lomond, where you will spend a wee while gazing into the rippling waters of this world famous bonnie loch - come and see your true love - at Lomondside! We then head through forests, mountains and glens of Argyll and stop for lunch. A chance to sample the famous seafood from the loch, followed by (weather permitting) a wee sail in your very own rowing boat! Whisper sweet nothings to your loved one while gently bobbing on this beautiful sea loch. We reluctantly leave and head north further along the loch to visit a stunning Scottish castle. Check into your traditional Scottish hotel, stone floors, wooden panels and beams, roaring fires! Your room will feature a four poster bed, double jacuzzi and magnificent furnishings – you really are in the Scottish Highlands. Dinner tonight at the hotel.
Day two: after a lazy morning and full Scottish breakfast we head north to discover the tragic Glencoe – discover magic scenery as we tour the west coast region of Argyll and Lorn – the ancient Celtic lands of Dalriada. We stop in Oban for lunch and enjoy a seafood special - local catches impeccably fresh to your table - Ee-Usk sits on the water's edge in the very heart of Oban with views across to the Isle of Mull. We complete the afternoon with a leisurely drive to an area of ancient Celtic history. Steeped in a world with over 5000 years of history - and the highlight of the whole tour: renew your wedding vows in a scenic glen. An ancient Celtic wedding ceremony where the wrapping of clasped hands with an embroidered cloth symbolises the binding together in marriage. We then drive back to the hotel for drinks and dinner.
Day three: your last day - we return via Loch Lomond and continue east through the beautiful scenic Trossachs, stopping for lunch at the village of Kilmahog. Think of a whole baked Trossach's trout, a fillet of Scottish Salmon or homemade beef steak & real ale pie, then again: tender premium Scottish beef, cooked how you like it. Plenty of time to while away the afternoon with after dinner drinks, before setting off for Glasgow and the completion of your tour. END.
