Budget Backpacker Tours and Trips of SCotland from Edinburgh

The Sky High Tour

3 Day Budget Tour of Scotland from £89 per person

Day 1 : Edinburgh - Loch Ness
We leave Scotland's capital and head towards the magnificent Highlands, passing by Perth and between the stunning Grampian and Cairngorm mountains before arriving at Britain's last battlefield, eerie Culloden Moor. Through Inverness, the highland capital, to the Monster-ous Loch Ness where you get your chance to hunt for Nessie! Tonight you'll be staying in Fort Augustus on the banks of Scotland’s most famous loch!

Day 2 : Loch Ness - Isle of Skye
Firstly, we'll visit Eilean Donan Castle ('Highlander Castle') before arriving on the Isle of Skye. Ruined castles, awesome scenery, Viking fortresses and home to the legendary clans of the MacLeods and the MacDonalds. Immersed in Celtic myths and legends, hear all about the Faeries and the Selkies - magical Skye is quite simply unmissable. As with any other day, we'll stop off to take in local events or areas of special interest to the group. We'll stay on the island itself tonight in the peaceful wee village of Kyleakin in the shadow of Casteil Moil.

Day 3 : Isle of Skye - Edinburgh
Winding our way back down the west coast along the famous 'Road to the Isles', through gorgeous glens and dark lochs, passing beneath Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain, we'll visit Glen Nevis and Glencoe - areas that formed the backdrop to the movies 'Braveheart' and 'Rob Roy ' - across Rannoch Moor, and past Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument before arriving back in Edinburgh.

What's Included and what's extra -
This tour is all about CHOICE and using your hard earned cash the way YOU choose. It's your trip not ours, so if you want to spend your budget in a different way to the next guy then that's cool with us - is that not what traveling is all about? This way, if you don't want to visit an attraction, you haven't paid for it - great! Accommodation is GUARANTEED on all our tours in great backpacker hostels (budget £12 - 15 per night) - simply pay as you go! If you wish to treat yourself to a twin/double room let us know prior to the day of departure and we will do our best to assist you with your request. (Please be aware, not all stops have these options and we cannot always guarantee availability). All have self-catering kitchens, most have laundry facilities and will give you a real British welcome!
