View all dates

5 Day Select Holiday

Choose Kingussie or Nethy Bridge as your base for this tempting tour, both located in the Cairngorms National Park. Kingussie is a lively town beside the River Spey where scenes from the drama Monarch of the Glen were filmed. Browse the craft shops or view the artwork at Iona Gallery. Or opt for Nethy Bridge, a quaint and unspoilt Victorian village that is blessed with attention-grabbing views in all directions. The River Nethy flows through the village, and it is known as “The Forest Village” with its beautiful country walks. Sightseeing takes in an evocative trip on the Strathspey Steam Railway to popular Aviemore, and we visit Culloden Battlefield & Visitor Centre, scene of the Jacobite uprising. We also spend time in the highland capital of Inverness, home to an attractive old town. An unforgettable treat will be our cruise on the Caledonian Canal and Loch Ness, an experience that will be forever etched on your mind and a delightful way to experience Scotland’s mountains, lochs and glens.

Your Excursions

Strathspey Steam Railway & Aviemore
Step back over seventy years with a nostalgic trip on the Strathspey Steam Railway as we journey almost ten miles through unspoilt Highland scenery to awesome Aviemore. With old fashioned carriages and great attention to detail, this experience really evokes the 1950s. Alighting in Aviemore, you’ll have free time to explore this tourist town in the Cairngorms National Park.

Culloden Battlefield & Inverness
Discover how a gruesome battle that lasted just an hour changed life in the Highlands forever at the National Trust for Scotland’s Culloden Battlefield. This poignant interactive visitor centre is where you can experience the battle with its enveloping surround cinema, and view fascinating artefacts. We continue to Inverness for free time.

Caledonian Canal & Loch Ness Cruise
An amazing day as we make our way to Dochgarroch to board our boat and set sail along the famous Caledonian Canal, gliding through the Great Glen, and into the legendary waters of Loch Ness. Regarded as one of the most wonderful waterways in the world, sit back and relax as you drift past striking mountains and enjoy panoramic views of Aldourie Castle, Bona Lighthouse and majestic Urquhart Castle.
