Day 1: Kyle of Lochalsh – Embarkation.
Day 2: Kyle of Lochalsh – Eilean Donan Castle. Armadale, Skye – Armadale Castle and Clan Donald Centre.
Partially destroyed in a Jacobite uprising in 1719, Eilean Donan Castle lay in ruins for the best part of 200 years until Lieutenant Colonel John MacRae-Gilstrap bought the island in 1911 and restored the castle to its former glory. We trace the legacy of Clan Donald at the Museum of The Isles housed in the grounds of Armadale Castle.

Explore the island capital of Tobermory where brightly painted houses line the waterfront.

Travel to the sacred isle of Iona to relish the tranquillity of the restored Benedictine abbey.
Day 5 : Oban – Walking tour and McCaig’s tower. Corpach – Glenfinnan Monument Visitor Centre.
Embark on a walking tour of Oban which takes in the panoramic vistas from McCaig’s Tower.
At Glenfinnan, visit the iconic monument honouring the fallen Jacobite clansmen, framed by spectacular Highland scenery. Raise your bonnet to the lone kilted Highlander on the top of the tower designed by Scottish architect James Gillespie Graham.
Day 6: Transit Neptune’s Staircase and sail the Caledonian Canal to Fort Augustus.
From sea level, Lord of the Highlands ascends the spectacular eight interconnected locks of Neptune’s Staircase to Banavie, and we spend the day relaxing on board as we transit the length of the canal which connects the Great Glen’s four lochs.

Our final visit is Culloden, the infamous battlefield where Bonnie Prince Charlie’s Jacobite forces were defeated in 1746, and the ancient burial ground of Clava Cairns.
