DAY TO DAY ITINERARY:
Day 1
Kyle of Lochalsh – Embarkation.
Arrive in Kyle of Lochalsh and embark Lord of the Glens.
Day 2
Cameras at the ready for our visit to the iconic Eilean Donan Castle, situated on an island at the point where three great sea lochs meet, and surrounded by majestic scenery. Departing from Kyle of Lochalsh we sail to the Isle of Skye where we discover the epic history of Clan Donald at Armadale Castle and the Museum of the Isles.
Day 3
This morning we sail to the Small Isle of Eigg to experience what life is like for the island community of 90 people, living in the shadow of the dramatic pitchstone ridge of An Sgurr. We cruise around the most westerly point of the British mainland, Ardnamurchan, to the Isle of Mull and its capital Tobermory and enjoy free time in the harbour town, where brightly painted houses line the waterfront; originally built by the British Fisheries Company to house its workers.
Day 4
From Craignure we travel to the Isle of Iona, the last resting place of some 50 Scottish Kings and where St. Columba introduced Christianity to Scotland. Here we can explore the restored Benedictine Abbey and absorb the tranquility of this sacred isle. An early evening sail brings us to Oban, the seafood capital of the Highlands.
Day 5
Explore Oban, the gateway to the Isles, on a guided walk up to McCaig`s Tower. This prominent landmark, on Battery Hill, was inspired by the Roman Colosseum. Later we sail Loch Linnhe, passing mysterious lochs and islands until we reach the Caledonian Canal at Corpach and take a scheduled service along part of the West Highland Railway over the renowned viaduct at beautiful Glenfinnan.
Day 6
Today we relax on board as Lord of the Glens ascends Neptune’s Staircase, a set of eight interconnected locks, which lift the vessel 64 feet to Banavie, and sail through Lochs Lochy and Oich before transitting the tranquil, tree-lined Laggan Avenue and descending the series of locks to Loch Ness. In the evening we reach Fort Augustus where we berth overnight.
Day 7
This morning, we enter Loch Ness, pausing approximately half-way for a photo opportunity in front of the romantic ruins of Urquhart Castle. Our final visit is Culloden, the infamous battlefield where Bonnie Prince Charlie’s Jacobite forces were defeated in 1746, and observe the ancient standing stones of Clava Cairns, ahead of the farewell reception and dinner at our overnight berth in Inverness.
Day 8
Disembark in Inverness after breakfast, for the onward journey home. |
