Palace of Holyroodhouse: Entry Ticket

Departing Edinburgh, our Loch Ness and Scottish Highlands tour continues to Stirling, where you&#39;ll see Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument. We then continue to Callander for breakfast in this bustling town known as the gateway to the Highlands. The bus then heads north into the Highlands, passing Rannoch Moor, before stopping at the dark and brooding Glencoe Pass, a beautiful photo spot and where your driver/guide will tell you the chilling story of the infamous massacre of 1692. After crossing Loch Leven at Ballachulish, we&#39;ll stop for lunch near Fort William before following the Caledonian Canal through the Great Glen to Fort Augustus and Loch Ness. Here, you can sail the loch for about an hour on the award-winning Loch Ness Cruise, or enjoy the scenery of the tranquil lakeside village. Please note that this portion of the tour may be subject to change due to weather conditions during the winter months. After a stop at Fort Augustus and Loch Ness, the tour returns to Edinburgh. We&#39;ll pass Loch Laggan, the setting for the internationally acclaimed television show &#39;Monarch of the Glen,&#39; before stopping in picturesque Pitlochry, a charming Victorian resort town. Passing through Perth and the Kingdom of Fife, we&#39;ll cross the Forth Crossing along the magnificent Forth Railway Bridge, before arriving in Scotland&#39;s capital with a million memories and photos. Notes: Please note that some hotels in the city are not included in our pickup routes. If your hotel is not included, we will contact you to inform you of the nearest pickup location. Please wait for the guide at the main entrance of the indicated hotel.

Loch Ness and the Scottish Mountains

Your tour will depart early in the morning from The Elephant House, 21 George IV Bridge, Edinburgh EH1 1EN, from where you&#39;ll travel northwest to Fort William to meet the Jacobite Steam Train, affectionately known to all of us as the Hogwarts Express. Your guide will point out some of the key filming locations used in all eight films along the way. Please note that we typically travel on the Fort William-Mallaig train, but on some dates, the train may run from Mallaig to Fort William. Strolling through Rannoch Moor, one of Scotland&#39;s largest wilderness areas, you&#39;ll see the rugged wilderness where the Death Eaters boarded the train in the film Deathly Hallows - Part One. Next, we&#39;ll take you through the eerie Glencoe Pass, which served as a backdrop for several scenes from the third film onward. This famous and dramatic volcanic valley appeared in several background scenes in The Prisoner of Azkaban, including the scene where Hermione punches Malfoy. In Fort William, you&#39;ll board the Jacobite Steam Train for the world&#39;s longest rail journey. It&#39;s the perfect way to see some famous film locations—just as Harry and his friends did. A highlight of the trip is crossing the magnificent 21-arch Victoria Glenfinnan Viaduct. One of the most iconic images from the films is the Jacobite Steam Train, known to all as the &quot;Hogwarts Express,&quot; passing Glenfinnan Viaduct on its way to school. Remember to watch out for flying cars! While enjoying the view of Loch Shiel (first seen in Chamber of Secrets) from your window, you may have time for the train to stop at the viaduct, allowing you to take photos of the magnificent view and imagine yourself in the film The Prisoner of Azkaban, when Harry encounters a Dementor for the first time as the Hogwarts Express stops at the bridge. The train will then stop at Glenfinnan station so you can stretch your legs and, if you wish, visit the West Highland Railway Museum, located in the restored station building. Keep an eye out for the stunning Loch Shiel near Glenfinnan, one of two lakes used as a stand-in for Hogwarts Lake in the Harry Potter films. It&#39;s where Buckbeak dips his toe in The Prisoner of Azkaban. Harry and Hermione also observe it from the Astronomy Tower in a particularly beautiful scene at the end of The Half-Blood Prince. Loch Shiel was also transformed for some Triwizard Tournament scenes in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Next, you&#39;ll see the small island of Eilean na Moine, which housed Dumbledore&#39;s Tomb and is framed by Loch Eilt, used several times in the film, including as the setting for the bridge to Hogwarts and the location of Hagrid&#39;s hut. Upon reaching the fishing village of Mallaig, with its ferry route to the Isle of Skye (from which you can see it on a clear day), you&#39;ll take a break from site-seeing to enjoy some free time in the village, with a variety of lunch options. From Mallaig, you&#39;ll reboard the coach, where we&#39;ll stop at the Glenfinnan visitor center for a prime photographic opportunity of the steam train returning over the viaduct, before returning to Edinburgh via Pitlochry. PLEASE NOTE THAT OCCASIONALLY THIS TOUR MAY OPERATE IN REVERSE OF THE ABOVE ITINERARY, WHERE YOU WILL BOARD THE AFTERNOON TRAIN FROM MALLIAG TO FORT WILLIAM. *The stop at Glenfinnan is subject to parking availability. Notes: Please come prepared. Dress comfortably and for all weather conditions. This tour is a long day to cover the distance and make the train departure time. There are restrooms on board the bus and a small packed breakfast will be provided, but we regret that we cannot accommodate individual dietary requirements. Be sure to bring water and snacks. There are facilities on board the train and lunch options in Mallaig. It is your sole responsibility to ensure you board the return bus from Mallaig to Fort William at the correct time. Our driver-guide will not accompany you on the train or during your time in Mallaig; this is your free time to enjoy as you wish. Not suitable for children under 8 years of age

Several parts of Culross are used to represent the village of Cranesmuir, predominantly in the first season of Outlander.
