Oversikt

This route pairs Edinburgh's compact, walkable old town with a proper Highlands road trip — the dramatic scenery around Glencoe, Loch Ness, and the Isle of Skye's sea cliffs and jagged ridgelines — before finishing in Glasgow. A rental car is strongly recommended for the Highlands leg; the far northwest has very limited public transport.
