Full Description of the Event.
Depart Glasgow and explore Scotland; travel to Loch Lomond (the largest expanse of fresh water in the country) where you will stop off at the conservation village of Luss for coffee and sightseeing.
Then head deep into the Highlands, passing through breathtaking scenery, including views along Loch Awe, the longest loch in Scotland. The countryside here is rich with history and you will pass the haunting Kilchurn Castle, historically a stronghold of the Campbell Clan, and the Pass of Brander (where Robert the Bruce had a notable victory).
By lunchtime, you’ll have reached Oban where you will have time to explore this Victorian seaside town, climb up to McCaig’s Tower, take in the views to the isles of Mull and Kerrera and try some of the freshest seafood you’ve ever tasted.
On the way back to Glasgow, you’ll visit the seat of the Campbell Clan at Inveraray, where you’ll stop to enjoy ice-cream, homemade sweets, cakes and coffee and drink in the beauty of Loch Fyne.
