Дополнительная информация
Your journey begins at the Edinburgh Royal Mile, where we’ll depart the bustling city centre, passing some of the city’s most iconic sights like Edinburgh Castle on the way out, before heading north into the rugged Scottish Highlands.
Enjoy refreshments at Callander along the way, the gateway to the Highlands, before continuing to Glencoe. The well-known, dramatic Glen features in many films, such as James Bond's Skyfall, and is the backdrop to some scenes from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, perfect to get you in the mood to visit the famous "Harry Potter Bridge" that you will see later in the tour. We’ll pause here for photos and to learn all about the history of Glencoe, including the massacre of the MacDonald clan in 1692.
From the atmospheric Glencoe, we travel further along the banks of Loch Linnhe to the Highland town of Fort William, which sits at the foot of Britain's tallest mountain - Ben Nevis. Enjoy a stop here to stretch your legs and have an early lunch break, before we journey onwards to the Glenfinnan Viaduct.
The Glenfinnan Viaduct is arguably most famous for its scenes in Harry Potter and is surrounded by mountains on the stunning shores of Loch Shiel. Not only is this location famous for the Jacobite Steam Train (not to be confused with the Hogwarts' Express), Loch Sheil was also the location of the "Black Lake". See if you can spot a "grindylow" causing trouble under the surface! It's also the setting for Buckbeak's beautiful flight, scenes from the Triwizard Tournament, and the stunning loch on which Hogwarts sits.
We take in the viaduct and a photo opportunity before a visit to the nearby Glenfinnan Monument, which symbolises one of the most important events in Scottish history; the 1745 Jacobite uprising.
Departing Glenfinnan, we’ll begin our return journey to Edinburgh, stopping along the way for refreshments at the small village of Pitlochry. Enjoy time to stretch your legs and grab a quick bite to eat before we return to Edinburgh, where our Glenfinnan, Glencoe and Fort William Adventure will end.
