Highland Hotel 5 Day Autumn Break
First Day - South
Arrive at the Highland Hotel in time for dinner.
Cruise Loch Linnhe and explore Fort William
You are in the true heart of Scotland when you wake up to the floating mists of Loch Linnhe and the distant hills of Sunart. The breath-taking scenery of Lochaber surrounds your historic hotel from which you will take a trip on the only loch that follows the Great Glen Fault, Loch Linnhe. Enjoy breath taking views of Ben Nevis, enjoy the close up views of the Corpach Shipwreck, the entrance to the Caledonian Canal and explore the small Islands and the birdlife around Corpach. Afterwards, explore the outdoor ‘capital’ of Scotland, Fort William.
Mallaig
Mallaig is a fishing port in Morar which lies at the end of the evocatively named "Road to the Isles." It is also the terminus for the West Highland Railway from Fort William and the focus for a network of ferry services to Skye, to the Small Isles, to South Uist and to the Knoydart peninsula. In 1841 all that stood at this extreme north-western corner of North Morar was a farmstead known as Mallaigvaig with a population of 23. The owner of the North Morar Estate at the time was Lord Lovat and he divided the farm there into a series of plots with a view to attracting his tenants from the then, more populated parts of the estate along Loch Morar and Loch Nevis to resettle here and take up fishing as an occupation. Mallaig is still, at its heart, a working fishing port and prides itself on its fresh catches including traditionally smoked kippers. Enjoy one of the many short walks around the harbour or soak up the local atmosphere and relax.
Glencoe, Rannoch Moor & Oban
Glencoe is undoubtedly the most popular and scenic glen in Scotland. The sheer scale and grandeur of the landscape is sure to inspire and the turbulent history of the area will fascinate visitors. Then visit nearby Rannoch Moor - one of Scotland's outstanding areas of natural wilderness, before heading to the west coast. The largest town in Argyll & The Isles, Oban is known as the 'Gateway to the Isles' and is the 'Seafood Capital of Scotland'. Oban has a way of drawing out the romantic side of visitors, with its mists that roll in from the sea and the hills which overlook the bay. The most iconic feature within Oban is McCaig's Tower, a Colosseum lookalike that stands above the town and offers wonderful views out west. From seafood to whisky, Oban offers a great range of local produce - all well worth sampling!
