Each one of the Inner Hebrides islands has its own unique character just waiting to be explored, from Arran in the South to western Islay, famous for its whisky. Here, island life has changed little in generations! Perhaps the most famous of the Scottish Isles is the romantic Isle of Skye, with its incredible coastline and unspoilt scenery. We also explore the west coast of Scotland on this spectacular tour, including visits to Oban, Fort William and the fantastic Glenfinnan Viaduct.

Today we explore the Queen of the Hebrides, Islay. We take the early morning ferry and stop in the capital of Bowmore. We enjoy a visit to a Whisky distillery for a tour and tasting of one of Scotland's main exports. We then visit the Big Strand on Laggan Bay, the longest uninterrupted sandy beach on Islay. Seven miles long, it stretches from Laggan Point in the north to Kintra and the Oa peninsula in the south.
We then travel across the island to board our ferry from Port Askaig back to the mainland and our hotel.
Please note: breakfast or dinner may be on the ferry today depending on the ferry schedule.
Today we journey through lochs and glens to Oban, known as 'The Gateway to the Isles'. We will make a stop in Oban for you to explore before continuing our journey on the Road to the Isles, recognised as one of the most scenic drives in Scotland.
We will stop at Glenfinnan Viaduct, made famous by the Harry Potter films, for a photo before we arrive in Mallaig for a two-night stay.
After breakfast this morning, we board the ferry to Skye. With its wealth of history from Jacobite battles to feuding clans, the island is woven into Scottish history. The island is also known for its beautiful scenery from the velvet moors to the jagged mountains and towering sea cliffs. We will visit Portree, the capital, and the famous Dunvegan Castle – home of the Macleod Clan for over 800 years.
After a busy few days travelling, we enjoy a day to relax today in the hotel. Established in 1902, the Morar Hotel is a family-run hotel in the Highlands, 3 miles from Mallaig. From here, you can take a stroll along the beach! It's the perfect opportunity to soak up the Scottish Highlands with breathtaking views of the famous Silver Sands of Morar and the Inner Hebridean islands of Rum & Eigg.
We begin our journey southwards today and offer an amazing opportunity – an optional ride on the Nevis Range Mountain Gondola! It is the only one of its kind in Britain and reaches the heights of 650m. The Mountain Gondola has become an amazing attraction, allowing visitors to enjoy the scenic ride and absorb the stunning views and clear mountain air.
For those guests not wishing to take the optional excursion, we enjoy free time in Fort William, Scotland's outdoor capital on the shores of Loch Linnhe.
We then continue our journey southwards through the stunning scenery of Glencoe, towards Loch Lomond and to our overnight hotel.
