Monday

Morning departure from our local area with stops on route, we travel to Oban which will be our base for the next four nights. Here you will be treated to fabulous views overlooking the Isles of Mull and Kerrera.

Tuesday

Following an early breakfast we make our way down to the harbour to catch the morning sailing to Mull. We will then enjoy the scenic drive to Fionnphort for a short ferry crossing to Iona, the burial place of Scottish Kings including the legendary Macbeth. We then have a late afternoon return ferry crossing to Oban, returning in time for evening dinner in our hotel.

Wednesday

Today we head for the highlands. With breath taking views, we travel through Glencoe to Fort William, overlooking Loch Linnhe. After a short break, we will board the train to Mallaig, taking in the beautiful scenery on route. Your coach and driver will be waiting for you at Mallaig where you will then return to the hotel in time for dinner.

Thursday

Another scenic drive awaits you as we travel over the Atlantic Bridge to Sil Island, which is one of few Scottish islands where no ferry is required. We then travel to its most southern point to the quaint village of Easdale where you will have some free time before we return to Oban. After spending the afternoon at your leisure in Oban, we return to the hotel for our evening meal.

Friday

Today we bid a fond farewell to Oban and embark on our journey home, a scenic drive in itself. We will arrive home in Cumbria late afternoon.
