Day 3 – The beautiful Kyle Line and the iconic Eilean Donan Castle
Today begins with a journey to Kyle of Lochalsh on the wonderful
Kyle Line. Skirting alongside lochs and through wild mountain
landscapes, we admire the cascading waterfalls, mesmerising nature,
and towering peaks that roll by the windows. Arriving at Kyle of
Lochalsh, we visit Eilean Donan Castle, one of the most striking
castles in Scotland. Perched atop a tiny island at the confluence
of Loch Duich, Loch Long and Loch Alsh, this iconic fortress has
played a role in several films.
After exploring the castle's history and amazing views, we
continue by coach to Fort Augustus where we enjoy an entertaining
'Clansman Show'. Our presenter, usually dressed in the Feilidh
Mhor, explains how the 'days of old' Highland families ate, lived
and survived. We learn the clan system and local culture as
interactive demonstrations showcase traditional Highland dress and
ancient weapons.
Overnight Inverness.
**please note: on select departures there is an hotel change
to the Clansman Loch Ness, situated on the shores of Loch Ness
around 25 minutes from the city center.
