2-Day Highlands & Romantic Castles
Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond, Glencoe & Relais & Châteaux Luxury
The Ultimate Short-Break Luxury Immersion
Short on time in Scotland but unwilling to cram into a 50-person coach? Our 2-Day Highlands & Castles Escape is engineered specifically for travelers with only a weekend or a 2-day gap between Edinburgh city visits.
You will experience the dramatic transition from the Lowlands to the towering peaks of Glencoe, private boat charter on Loch Lomond, and a night of sublime aristocratic indulgence at Inverlochy Castle beneath Ben Nevis.
With Richard managing all navigation and timing, you skip the fatigue of driving and return to Edinburgh refreshed, having experienced the very best of the Western Highlands.

What Our Guests Say
Unfiltered feedback from private tour guests across North America, Asia & Australia.
Flawless execution from Edinburgh to the Hebrides
"We booked the 14-day Grand Scotland tour for our 30th anniversary. Having our dedicated chauffeur Richard in a pristine Range Rover Autobiography made all the difference on the winding single-track roads. The private access to the Macallan vault and the after-hours castle tour in Edinburgh were memories we will cherish forever. Worth every penny."
William & Sarah Thornton
San Francisco, California, USA
Perfect pacing for three generations
"Traveling with elderly parents (78 & 82) and two teenagers is normally a logistical nightmare. Highland Travel Group curated an itinerary with zero strenuous walking, ensuring my parents had comfortable vantage points and accessible castle suites. The Mercedes V-Class captain chairs were heavenly. Richard also arranged wonderful hot meals and tea stops every day."
Dr. Michael & Linda Tan
Singapore
Unrivalled access and true Scottish hospitality
"As Scotch collectors, we have visited Speyside several times, but never with this level of behind-closed-doors privilege. Direct barrel tastings with master archivists and private dining at Aldourie Castle were spectacular. Total discretion, impeccably dressed chauffeur, and zero fuss."
