Daily Excursions

Day 1

Depart from your home area in the morning, arriving late afternoon at Duke of Gordon Hotel, Kingussie. Five nights stay with
dinner, bed and breakfast.
During your stay the following excursions are included:

AVIEMORE & HIGHLAND WILDLIFE We make for Aviemore where we take a break and time to explore, enjoy the scenery and perhaps have a bite to eat. Later, we head to the Highland Wildlife Park, home to the famous Scottish Wildcats and other interesting animals, including its own safari drive.

KYLE OF LOCHALSH

We head to Kyle of Lochalsh for a morning break before joining the Scotrail train for one of the Great Railway Journeys of the World - the Kyle line. The route takes us through some of the best scenery in the country, skirting lochs and passing remote villages on the way back to Inverness. Here we rejoin the coach for the ride back to Kingussie.

FORT WILLIAM AND MALLAIG

This excursion takes us south west along the shore of Loch Laggan and through Glen Spean to Fort William. Here we have another train journey along the celebrated West Highland Line to Mallaig. This spectacular line passes hidden lochs and inlets, silver sands, and crosses the magnificent Glenfinnan viaduct on its way west. Mallaig is a major fishing port and we have time to wander around the harbour and explore before we catch the train for the return journey to Fort William, where we rejoin the coach for the ride back to Kingussie.

INVERNESS BY TRAIN

A short stroll brings us to Kingussie station where we catch the train to Inverness. The line takes us through spectacular scenery over the line's summit at Slochd before descending into the Highland Capital, Inverness. You will have around three hours to explore the city and obtain lunch before catching the return train to Kingussie.

Day 6

After breakfast we continue our way home
