THE BACK ROADS OF THE REAL SCOTLAND Loch Ness Express

Mearns Exclusive Travel prides itself in being one of the only Scottish tour companies
to offer more time off the coach at Loch Ness enabling our customers to walk the terrain and feel the atmosphere of this historic and dramatic area. Our journey towards Loch Ness takes us through Loch Lomond, Glencoe and then on to Britain’s only mountain gondola*. Taking you effortlessly 2150ft up Aonach Mor, the journey allows you to experience the magic of some
of the world’s most ancient and beautiful landscapes, including spectacular views of the Great Glen and Ben Nevis. Whether you are looking for the chance to spot unusual wildlife, lunch in a mountain restaurant*, or the more adrenalin fuelled thrill of a world class downhill
mountain bike track, Nevis Range has something to suit all ages and abilities.

A short journey from the Nevis range take us into Fort Augustus and the world famous Loch Ness. Enjoy a few hours on the shores of Loch Ness. Here you have the option of taking a Loch Ness Cruise (April to October) where the boats are equipped with colour sonar
and 3D under water imaging systems, giving you the best chance to see what really lies at the bottom of Loch Ness.

Maybe spend time at the waters edge reflecting on the legends of the Loch.
Traveling back through ‘Monarch of the Glen’ country we make a stop for evening refreshments in Pitlochry before arriving back in Glasgow.

Secrets of a Highland Glen

This unique and relaxing tour is about exploring the ‘REAL HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND’.
We guarantee this tour will leave an impression on you that will last forever.
Leaving the city behind, our first stop is at LOCH LOMOND. Beautiful views of Ben Lomond and the loch can be savored and photographed within an hour of leaving Glasgow.
Relax as we continue on our journey through the isolated beauty of RANNOCH MOOR
to the magnificent Three Sister Mountain range of GLENCOE and learn about the formation of these mountains 400 million years ago. Listen to the tragic story of how the clan MacDonald
of Glencoe were massacred in 1692 giving the glen its name of ‘THE WEEPING GLEN’. After our lunch stop we embark on our enchanting and gentle forest walk past the man-made loch which has its own romantic history. Leaving GLENCOE we take you on the single track road
to GLEN ETIVE described as ‘the land that time forgot’. This dramatic area of mountains and waterfalls offers opportunities to look out for RED DEER and the elusive GOLDEN EAGLE both of which are residents of this terrain. As this tour is about being off the coach as much as
possible, we suggest that you dress appropriately for our Scottish weather! This is the best day tour I’ve ever taken. I especially liked the off-beat places and one very knowledgeable driver.
