A' Ghàidhealtachd — the Highlands
The Highlands in a day, from your hotel door.
Private Highland day tours from Edinburgh in a chauffeur-driven Tesla — Loch Ness and Glencoe, or the Kelpies, Stirling and the Trossachs. Your party only, your pace, your stops. £550 per car for a full day, 1–4 guests.
Loch Nis — the big day
Loch Ness & Glencoe
The classic Highland circuit: west through the Trossachs and across Rannoch Moor into Glencoe, on to Loch Ness, and home through the Cairngorms and Highland Perthshire. It is a long day with a lot of road — and almost all of it is scenery.
| Stage | What you see |
|---|---|
| Morning | 09:00 hotel pick-up · Callander and the Trossachs · Rannoch Moor |
| Late morning | Glencoe — the Three Sisters, with time to walk and photograph |
| Lunch | Fort William or Fort Augustus, beneath Ben Nevis or beside the canal locks |
| Afternoon | Loch Ness at Fort Augustus — the lochside, and a loch cruise if you'd like one |
| Evening | Return through the Cairngorms and Pitlochry · hotel drop-off around 19:00 |
Na h-Eich-uisge — the gentler day
Kelpies, Stirling & the Trossachs
Less road, more stops: the giant horse-head sculptures at Falkirk, the castle that held the key to Scotland, and the lochs and wooded hills of the Trossachs — the Highlands in miniature, an hour from Edinburgh.
| Stage | What you see |
|---|---|
| Morning | 09:00 hotel pick-up · The Kelpies at Falkirk |
| Late morning | Stirling Castle and the view to the Wallace Monument |
| Lunch | Callander, gateway to the Highlands |
| Afternoon | The Trossachs — Loch Lubnaig, Loch Katrine or the shore of Loch Lomond, your choice |
| Evening | Doune Castle on the way home if time allows · hotel drop-off |
Why go privately
Your day, not a timetable
Stay longer where it's beautiful, skip what doesn't interest you, stop whenever a photograph demands it. Coach tours can't.
Door to door
Collected from your Edinburgh hotel or apartment and returned to it — no early walk to a bus stance, no late walk back.
Per car, not per person
One fixed price for up to four guests. For a family or two couples, a private day often costs little more than four coach seats.
Quiet all the way
A glass roof for the glens and no engine noise. The car tops up at a rapid charger while you have lunch, so range never shapes your day.
Make it your own
These two days are starting points. Guests have asked us to add whisky distilleries, Outlander filming locations, Glenfinnan's viaduct, St Andrews and Dunkeld, or to spread the Highlands over two or three days with different routes each day. Tell us what you've dreamed of seeing and we'll tell you honestly what fits.
Prefer animals to lochs? Our Reindeer of the Cairngorms day takes you to hand-feed Britain's only free-ranging reindeer herd, and Castle & Coo pairs Edinburgh Castle with highland cattle close to the city.
Booking from overseas is simple: we confirm a fixed price in writing and send a secure online payment link you can pay by card from home.
