The Loch Ness Monster - fact or fiction? Find out on this splendid tour through the glorious Scottish Highlands!

The journey northwards takes you through Rob Roy MacGregor country to desolate Rannoch Moor. You will travel through haunting Glen Coe, the "Glen of Weeping". In 1692, 40 of the resident MacDonald clan were massacred in cold blood by the Campbells for not forswearing the Jacobite cause. It is said that you can still hear their cries! You will stop in this awe-inspiring place to marvel at the natural beauty of the glen for yourself.

Next travel to Fort William, which sits in the shadow of Ben Nevis, Britain's tallest mountain. A real highlight is the drive through the Great Glen which is also the route taken by the Caledonian Canal. You will criss-cross the canal several times as you travel to Inverness. The Great Glen contains three lochs which will offer spectacular vistas

Firstly Loch Lochy, then Loch Oich and lastly Loch Ness. The pretty little village of Fort Augustus is our gateway to Scotland's largest and most famous loch. You will tour the entire length of Loch Ness, stopping at Urquhart Castle for a photograph. Here you can visit the Castle and enjoy a cruise (optional, not included in tour cost) on the loch ... could that shadow be the monster?

Shortly you will arrive in Inverness where you will make a stop to discover the Capital of the Highlands for yourself. Later you will start the journey southwards through the Spey Valley then on to the dramatic scenery of Glen Garry. There will be a brief stop in the delightful Victorian resort of Pitlochry before returning to Glasgow.

Enjoy three nights stay at Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel located close to Lake Windermere.

Ten Lakes Spectacular tour covers Ten Lakes, three mountain passes and an extended lake cruise from the mountains to moorland on Ullswater - "Queen of the English Lakes", a beautiful waterfall, Castlerigg Stone Circle and the ancient township of Keswick for lunch. Certainly the most comprehensive, popular and satisfying tour in the Lake District, visiting central, north, north-west and north-east parts of Cumbria with so many stops for photographs and short walks.

Your short break also includes the High Mountain Passes Spectacular. The route is one fashioned by Emperor Hadrian's Roman legions in the first century. Over the Wrynose and Hardknott passes, the steepest in England, pausing to view the extensive remains of Hardknott Roman Fort, before descending to lovely Eskdale. Following lunch you embark on the famous steam railway journey through Eskdale and onwards to Wasdale and Wastwater (England's deepest and most dramatic lake).

The next destination is the splendid 14th century castle of Muncaster, a treasure chest of fine period furniture, tapestries, silverware, paintings, portraits and porcelain. In its internationally acclaimed gardens you will find magnificent examples of azaleas, camellias and rhododendrons and also have opportunity to visit the World Owl Trust.

The beautiful scenery of the Coniston Fells and Coniston Water bring to an end this classic of all Lake District tours.
