Description

Nous nous rendrons à Glencoe et sur la « Route des îles », de Fort William à Glenfinnan.

Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Luss est sur les rives de Bonnie du Loch Lomond. Non seulement nous nous arrêterons ici pour des rafraîchissements matinaux, mais aussi pour profiter d'une vue magnifique sur le Loch Lomond. Ben Lomond, le Munro le plus au sud de l’Écosse, (montagnes de plus de 3000 pieds de haut) peut également être vu d’ici.
Glencoe a été le théâtre de l'une des périodes les plus infâmes de l'histoire écossaise, le massacre de Glencoe qui a eu lieu en 1692. Le magnifique paysage est un incontournable pour les visiteurs. Nous nous arrêtons au centre d'accueil des visiteurs de Glencoe pour prendre le temps d'en apprendre davantage sur l'histoire de la vallée. Le centre abrite également la maison en tourbe où vous pourrez voir à quoi devait ressembler la vie de la communauté de 500 à 600 personnes qui vivait ici à Glencoe au 17e siècle. Nous traversons la vallée deux fois (matin et soir) et nous nous arrêtons pour prendre des photos et admirer le paysage pendant que nous y sommes.
Dans l'ombre du Ben Nevis se trouve la ville de vacances de Fort William. Nous traversons la ville le matin pour rejoindre la romantique 'Road to the Isles'
Nous avons beaucoup de temps pour visiter Glenfinnan car les vues sont tout simplement spectaculaires. Vous verrez les 21 arches du majestueux viaduc Glenfinnan courber à travers le vallon dans une scène immortalisée comme la route vers Poudlard Harry Potter (du 2 avril au 2 octobre, nous visons à atteindre le viaduc à temps pour voir le train à vapeur Jacobite traverser). Le monument de Glenfinnan se trouve à la tête du Loch Shiel et a été érigé en 1815, pour honorer les Jacobites qui se sont battus et sont morts pour la cause de Bonnie Prince Charlie. Vous aurez également le temps de payer l'entrée pour visiter le monument si vous le souhaitez. (Veuillez noter : Le train à vapeur Jacobite ne fonctionnera pas entre le 1er et le 5 septembre 2025.)
Après avoir parcouru Glencoe & Rannoch moor, notre dernière étape de la soirée sera dans le parc national du Loch Lomond et des Trossachs, où vous pourrez profiter d'un rafraîchissement en début de soirée avant notre retour à Glasgow.

The trip was great, well planned and executed by our driver and fountain of knowledge Karen, each stop was great and the information given along the was was amazing, we had a smaller 16 seater coach which had air conditioning and generally in very good condition, would we do it again 100%
Our driver and guide Keiran was on time, on point, and always happy to answer questions. He drove fast, but safely and got us to all the good stops with enough time to take pictures, have lunch, etc. even took us on a little unplanned stop to see some adorable highland cows after we told him we would like to see them. We got to the steam train with plenty of time to spare and were back before 8 pm, with optional drop off at grand central for those who wanted. All in all, worth every pound and much less hassle than trying to arrange all these stops individually.

Harry did a terrific job! Great balance between interesting stories/information about what we were seeing and letting us simply enjoy the scenery as we rode. We had a fairly significant traffic delay on our return, but he still got us to all of our stops, and went well out of his way to find a restroom stop.
