Cruise Description 6 Night Cruise sailing from Oban to Inverness aboard Lord of the Highlands.

We head for The Highlands, rich in heritage and surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery, the Great Glen cuts right through the heart of Scotland. We transit this geological fault, via the manmade sections of the Caledonian Canal and four immense lochs, Loch Lochy, Loch Oich and most famous of all, the legendary Loch Ness and Loch Dochfour.

Day 1: Oban - Embarkation.

Day 2: Oban – Walking tour and McCaig’s Tower. Tobermory, Mull – Free time.

Our walking tour of Oban takes in the panoramic vistas from McCaig’s Tower at the top of Battery Hill before we sail to Craignure on Mull, for a tour of Duart Castle, seat of Clan Maclean.

Day 3: Craignure, Mull – Visit to Iona.

Visit sacred Iona, where St. Columba introduced Christianity to Scotland. Later, sail to the island capital of Tobermory where brightly painted houses line the waterfront.

Day 4: Sail Loch Linnhe to Corpach. Corpach – Glenfinnan Monument Visitor Centre.

We cruise the Sound of Mull and Loch Linnhe to Corpach at the entrance of the Caledonian Canal.

At the Glenfinnan Monument Visitor Centre, we discover the story of Bonnie Prince Charlie and the moving tribute to those who died fighting for the Jacobite cause.

Day 5: Ascend Neptune’s Staircase and sail the Caledonian Canal to Fort Augustus.

Today Lord of the Highlands ascends the spectacular eight interconnected locks of Neptune’s Staircase to Banavie in the shadow of Ben Nevis.

Onwards through Loch Lochy in the heart of the Great Glen and the tranquil tree-lined Laggan Avenue, to Loch Oich, the highest point on the canal at just over 100 feet above sea level, to Fort Augustus.

Day 6: Sail the Caledonian Canal and Loch Ness to Inverness. Inverness – Culloden and Clava Cairns.

Shrouded in mystery, Loch Ness is deeper than the North Sea; binoculars at the ready to search for the elusive local resident. Arriving at Inverness, our final visit is Culloden, the powerfully emotive and atmospheric battlefield where the 1745 Jacobite Rising came to a tragic end.
