Wear comfortable shoes suitable for short walks on rough or uneven ground. If you would like to include longer walks, appropriate walking boots are recommended.
The infamous Scottish midge
During spring and summer, we recommend bringing insect repellent, particularly for time spent outdoors in the Highlands and on Skye.

Discover the wild beauty of Scotland on this 3-day private tour from Glasgow or Edinburgh, designed for travellers seeking a flexible, personalised way to explore the Highlands and the Isle of Skye. With your own private driver-guide, you’ll enjoy an immersive experience that combines breathtaking scenery, rich history, and authentic Scottish hospitality. This is one of our most popular multi-day tours of Scotland, offering an unforgettable itinerary from start to finish.
Day 1 – Into the Highlands
Your adventure begins as we leave the city behind and travel into the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, the gateway to the Highlands. After a short stop for coffee and fresh air, we continue across Rannoch Moor, one of Europe’s last great wildernesses, before arriving in Glencoe – a place of haunting beauty and dramatic history. Learn about the 1692 Massacre of Glencoe and take in the towering peaks known as the Three Sisters.
Following lunch near Fort William, we journey along the Great Glen, tracing the Caledonian Canal towards the west coast. Before crossing the Skye Bridge, we’ll pause to admire the postcard-perfect Eilean Donan Castle, which we’ll return to on Day 3. The day ends in Portree, Skye’s colourful harbour town, where you’ll check in to your pre-booked accommodation.
Day 2 – Explore the Isle of Skye
Spend the day discovering Skye’s legendary landscapes on a fully customisable Scotland itinerary. Highlights may include the Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock, Lealt Falls, and the dramatic Quiraing ridge. You might choose to visit Dunvegan Castle and Gardens (£), hike to the Fairy Pools, or stop at a local whisky distillery (£). Your driver-guide will tailor the day to suit your interests, ensuring a relaxed, bespoke private tour of Scotland.
Day 3 – Castles, Lochs & the Cairngorms
After breakfast, we’ll leave Skye behind and cross the Skye Bridge back to the mainland, stopping first at the iconic Eilean Donan Castle (£). Perched where three sea lochs meet, this 13th-century fortress is one of Scotland’s most photographed landmarks. Take time to explore inside, wander the courtyard, and capture the perfect photo before continuing east.
Travelling through the spectacular Great Glen, we’ll pause in the village of Fort Augustus, where you can enjoy lunch beside Loch Ness and watch boats pass through the Caledonian Canal locks.
Our journey then takes us through the Cairngorms National Park, a landscape of ancient forests and sweeping mountain views. We’ll make a short stop in the elegant Victorian town of Pitlochry before returning south to Glasgow or Edinburgh, marking the end of three unforgettable days exploring Scotland’s Highlands and islands.
