We travel north through the Border Region and on to the Scottish Highlands for check in to the Alexandra Hotel at Fort William where we stay for the next four nights.

We take a short drive to the picturesque village of Banavie and see the impressive Neptunes Staircase, an incredible feat of engineering built by Thomas Telford between 1803 and 1822. This amazing flight of eight locks on the Caledonian Canal is the longest staircase lock in Scotland and raises the canal by 62ft. We then travel into the Nevis Range and experience stunning views from onboard the UK’s only Mountain Gondola. Originally built to transport skiers to the slopes, the Mountain Gondola has become a tourist attraction in its own right, allowing visitors an opportunity to absorb the stunning views and clear mountain air.

Today we enjoy a spectacular train journey from Fort William to Mallaig - described as one of the greatest railway journeys in the world travelling through an awe-inspiring landscape of mountains, steep-sided lochs, and heather moors. Upon arrival at Mallaig you will have some free time to explore this bustling harbour town boasting impressive views across to The Isle of Skye. We will then travel back to Fort William along the scenic "Road to the Isles". A tour guide will also accompany us on this excursion who will share interesting insights and local knowledge of the landmarks and sublime landscapes.
B, DDay Four
We discover the mysterious waters of Loch Ness, one of the country’s most famous lochs thanks to its legendary monster, Nessie.
