Isle of Lewis
Isle of Harris
Experience the Outer Hebrides on our popular tour exploring the west coast and islands. Marvel at the magnificent scenery of the Isle of Skye before crossing over to the magical islands of Harris & Lewis, steeped in Neolithic history, then weaving our way through the Cairngorms to finish in picture-postcard Pitlochry.
PACKAGED ITINERARY
Day 1 Arrival
We arrive at our first hotel in time for dinner.
Day 2 The Isle of Skye
one of the most recognisable castles in Scotland. After crossing the Skye Bridge we make our way up this famous island to Portree and then onto Uig, where we catch the afternoon ferry to Tarbert on Harris. On arrival, we make our way to our hotel on the Outer Hebrides.
Day 3 Calanais Stones & Gearrannan Blackhouse Village
Today begins with a visit to the Calanais Visitor Centre and the extraordinary 5,000 year old Calanais Standing Stones, one of the best preserved megalithic sites in the whole of Scotland and predating the famous Stonehenge monument. Our day continues with a visit to the Gearrannan Blackhouse Village where we step back in time to experience the way of life in a typical crofting township of the 19th century. As we return to our hotel, we may wish to make a quick pitstop at the Norse Mill and Kiln, two traditionally constructed and thatched stone buildings set into a small river valley, used as a mill and kiln until the 1930s.
Day 4 Stornoway & Travel to Ullapool
We spend some time at leisure relaxing this morning in Stornoway, before heading to the ferry terminal to board our afternoon ferry to Ullapool. On arrival, we make the journey south again via Inverness to our home for the next two nights in Pitlochry. We
arrive at our hotel in time for a late dinner.
Day 5 Pitlochry Driver’s Day Off
Relax in your hotel and enjoy exploring the picture-postcard town of Pitlochry. Popular for over 150 years as a holiday destination, the town boasts Queen Victoria as one of its original visitors. Enjoy a stroll along Main Street in this charming resort with many attractive shops, bars and tearooms.
Day 6 Departure
After breakfast, we begin our journey home.
Please note, this island tour relies heavily on Caledonian MacBrayne ferry services. In the event that a sailing is cancelled or delayed, be aware that itineraries will have to be
adapted; sometimes at very short notice.
