Cairngorms and Highland Perthshire

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then on to your hotel for four nights.

Today, we enjoy a scenic drive to discover the beauty of the Cairngorms National Park.

We stop at Aviemore, which is located in the northwest corner of the park and is surrounded by towering mountains, sparkling lochs and dense forests. With a range of charming shops and delightful cafés, it is the perfect place for a coffee break before we continue to Grantown-on-Spey, a traditional Highland town. The square and high street are lined with unique, independent shops and restaurants.

We return back to the hotel whilst enjoying the stunning scenery of the national park.

Alternatively, why not join our optional excursion to Fort William?

Located on the eastern shores of Loch Linnhe, this town is a major tourist centre on the Road to the Isles, with Glen Coe to the south, Ben Nevis and Aonach Mòr to the east, and Glenfinnan to the west. With free time to explore, visit the West Highland Museum – world-famous for its Jacobite exhibits – and learn about the history culture of the highlands, or enjoy a wee dram of finest highland whisky at one of the many traditional pubs.

Today, we’ll head to the historic Blair Athol Distillery for a tour and tasting. On the informative tour, we’ll take a peek at the ins and outs of this working distillery, learn more about whiskey, enjoy a sample and take home a souvenir.

Later in the day, we continue to Queen's View, which offers a stunning panorama of the surrounding scenery and is named after Queen Victoria, who once admired this glorious outlook. We will also stop in Pitlochry, a picturesque town nestled at the foot of the Cairngorms.

Return home.
