Day 3

We join the Scotrail train at Crianlarich station for the ride to Oban. The line takes us through the Pass of Brander and alongside Loch Etive. In Oban we have time to explore the town, have a look at the harbour, enjoy lunch and relax. In the afternoon we take the train back to Crianlarich.

This afternoon we head south along the Sma' Glen to Crieff. Here we visit the Glenturret Distillery, makers of the Famous Grouse, for a tour and a wee dram. Our return takes us along Loch Earn and Glen Ogle to Crianlarich.

Day 5

We discover one of the hidden wonders of the Highlands. A power station buried deep under Ben Cruachan - the hollow mountain. At its centre lies a massive cavern, high enough to house the Tower of London. The hollow mountain is unique, an underground world on a spectacular scale, a five-star attraction, not to be missed. From here we head north to Fort William. We have time to explore this popular town before we are on our way south alongside Loch Linnhe to Ballachulish and Loch Leven. The Glencoe Visitor Centre is our afternoon break and here you can learn all about the feuding clans and the infamous massacre. We return over rugged and awesome Rannoch Moor to Crianlarich.

Day 6

We head south through Loch Lomond National Park to our overnight stay in Northern England for our overnight stay at Shap Wells Hotel - dinner, bed and breakfast.
