New Years Tour Itinerary:
Day 1. Take me to Skye!
Leaving Edinburgh Scotland’s beautiful capital city we travel north over the Firth of Forth and through the Kingdom of Fife crossing the Highland Boundary to our first destination Dunkeld. This gorgeous village nestling in its 
surrounding hills with its ancient cathedral is a great place to get a taster of Scottish History from your entertaining guide.
Once back on the bus it’s North once more travelling deeper into the Grampian Mountains where you’ll hear tales of rebellious Highlanders, stopping at a Highland Whisky distillery for a guided tour of the distillery and a dram of Scotland’s national drink.
The whisky is a great warmer because when we reach the freezing waters of awesome Loch Ness where 
those in the group brave or mad enough jump in for a swim whilst the rest search the horizon for that illusive sighting of Nessie herself.
We’ll travel down the shores of the loch taking in Urquart castle before striking west through beautiful Glen Moriston and Glen Shiel. Before arriving on the Isle of Skye we’ll stop at Eilean Donan Castle a superb example of a 13th century Scottish castle.
Day 2. Magical Isle of Skye!
The Isle of Skye is a truly magical place unique within the British Isles for its scenery due to the Cuillin Mountains rising straight out from the Northern Atlantic waters and sharp peaks coupled with the strange volcanic rock formations on the Trotternish Peninsula.
The best thing is that we spend the entire day exploring this great island because we’re based on it. You’ll hear myths and legends from an ancient time, clan feuds that raged on for centuries, go on amazing walks and visit and pay respect to the faeries when visiting the special Faerie Glen.
The order in which you travel and explore this magical island is left entirely up to the vast knowledge and experience of your driver/guide because we trust them to give you the best time possible.
Day 3. Edinburgh bound!
Leaving the Isle of Skye you will be filled with a great sense that you have experienced something completely different and take home wonderful memories of a Christmas never to be forgotten.
As we travel south we will pass back into the great glen, travel down part of the beautiful west coast of Scotland, hear the history and see the scenery that makes 
Glen Coe such a memorable place, cross ancient moor land, listen to the exploits of Scotland’s best known folk heroes Rob Roy MacGregor, visit an old friend of MacBackpackers “Hamish the Highland Cow” before stopping to hear all about Scotland’s turbulent past with our southern neighbours involving the true legend of Braveheart Robert theBruce and Scotland’s favourite son William Wallace.
Once back in Edinburgh it’s of for an after tour drink to recap laugh about all the fun you’ve had over the previous 3 days.
