Day 1: Edinburgh to Carbisdale Castle
Heading north from Edinburgh, we pass through Perthshire surrounded by mountains, forests and salmon packed rivers. First stop is the impressive Dunkeld Cathedral and then we head for lunch to the small village of Kingussie. Afterwards it’s on to lonely Culloden Battlefield, scene of the last major battle in Britain before heading for our magnificent evening accommodation in a haunted Highland Castle*!

Day 2: Carbisdale Castle to Edinburgh
Winding our way down the west coast of Scotland, we’ll visit famous Loch Ness for a wee bit of monster-spotting. Then it’s on to mysterious and haunting Glencoe - areas that formed the backdrop to the movies ‘Braveheart’ and ‘Rob Roy’. We cross the wilds of Rannoch Moor (watch out for the stags) and south, past historic Stirling, arriving back in Edinburgh early evening.
