Overview

Journey to the north and into the mountainous highland region of Scotland. Explore some of Scotland’s best scenery and delve deep in the history. Learn about the Scottish clans, folklore and legend that abounds in the hills. See world-famous sights and stop at dramatic locations along the route.

Travel across empty landscape of Rannoch Moor, the dramatic scenery of Glencoe and the rugged highland scenery of The Great Glen. View the imposing Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness and maybe even spot the Loch Ness Monster!

Stop at the picturesque village at Fort Augustus for lunch and a stroll along the Caledonian canal.

This 12 hour tour includes quite a lot of travelling but is a very rewarding day, seeing a lot of Scotland if you are time-limited. Please note that this tour doesn't run in December or January because of limited daylight hours.

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
