We return via a scenic drive through Glencoe. This awe-inspiring landscape was carved out centuries ago by icy glaciers and volcanic explosions. The road-facing peaks of Aonach Dubh, Beinn Fhada and Gearr Aonach are the mountains collectively known as the Three Sisters of Glencoe, and this magnificent landscape adorns many a souvenir from this region.

Overview
We depart and sail to Mull. On arrival in Craignure, we make our way to Fionnphort on the western tip of the island. From here, we join our cruise to see awe-inspiring Staffa.
This tiny island – only 1/2 a mile long and 1/4 a mile wide – is made up of hexagonal columns that were formed millions of years ago by volcanic eruptions. From our vessel, we'll see Fingal's Cave which was formed by the same lava flows that created the Giant's Causeway.
Our cruise continues to the tiny, peaceful island of Iona, where we disembark to have some free time to explore. Known as the 'Cradle of Christianity', Iona Abbey is without doubt one of the main reasons visitors flock to this remote location. We then set sail back to Fionnphort and return across Mull before sailing back to Oban.

Angela Barnett, 21 days ago
The coaches we used were comfortable, and the journey stressfree. We were let down massively but the extremely poor housekeeping at the hotel. I can except the dated and tired decor. The bedrooms were absolutely filthy. Extreme thick dust and dirt. Rubbish was not collected from outside the bedroom windows. The staff and food we had no problem with.

Disappointed. No information from driver. Hotel room very substantial - no phone or hot water on arrival.

What I didn’t like was an 8 day holiday should be Six to travel from Rugby services too Middlesborough on East Cost to spend the night then spend ALL DAY to get to Oban on West Coast of Scotland for that reason will never travel to Scotland with Shearings I have had 3 Holidays with Shearings and another Two Booked in 14 Months Stoped in Glasgow Two hours unable to find Coach not able to ring the Company Holiday ? ? On way back Spent Two hours in Edinborough near castle so was all uphill I think company should consider this as I imagine. The majority of people on your holidays are of the old age group Regards Ivan Let’s hope other Two are good watch this space
