Scotland Castle Tours Customized for You
Custom Scotland Castle Tours can be taken as a Scotland Self-Drive Tour or why not take it as a Scotland Chauffeur Driven Tour – just sit back and let one of our fantastic driver/guides take the wheel allowing you to take in the scenery without worrying about the road ahead? You can also mingle elements from our Custom Ireland Castle Tours with our Custom England Castle Tours to widen your stay in the British Isles.
We also have some Castles in Wales if you would like to include those in your Castle Vacation.
Day 1: Crossbasket Castle, East Kilbride, Scotland
Arrive at either Edinburgh or Glasgow Airport. You will be met at arrivals by your Driver/Guide to begin your personal Chauffeur Driven Vacation or as an alternative you can collect your car rental and start a Self Drive Tour. Whatever your mode of transport drive the short distance to Stirling where you can visit Stirling Castle and the William Wallace Monument. After lunch make your way to your own Crossbasket Castle and spend the rest of the day relaxing after your long flight.
Day 2: Barcaldine Castle, Benderloch, Scotland
Today you will drive through some of Scotland’s most beautiful scenery. You may like to take a boat trip on Loch Lomond before traveling on through the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park following the shores of the Loch North into the Highlands. Continue on to Oban and spend a pleasant afternoon exploring this seaside town before continuing on to your unique Castle accommodations for the night.
Day 3: Inverlochy Castle, Fort William, Scotland
Get an early start this morning and make your way to Fort William, stopping to admire the scenery in Glencoe en route. Catch the 10am Jacobite Steam Train (aka the Hogwarts Express) from Fort William to Mallaig. Enjoy lunch in Mallaig before catching the return train back to Fort William. From here continue North to your next castle accommodations where we recommend you dine at the world famous Albert and Michel Roux Jr at Inverlochy Castle.
Day 4: Inverlochy Castle, Fort William, Scotland
Today is a day of relaxation to enjoy all that Inverlochy Castle has to offer. If you prefer to take this time to add some optional extras to your tour, we will be happy to arrange this for you. The Jacobite Steam train (made famous as “The Hogwarts Express”) runs from Fort William daily, or if you are looking for something more active, Achnacarry Sporting and Country Pursuits offer a wide range of options. Tonight, you will dine independently. Additional dining options are available in Fort William, a short taxi ride away from Inverlochy Castle.
Day 5: Glengarry Castle, Invergarry, Scotland
Take a day trip to the Isle of Skye. Visit Eilean Donan Castle before crossing the land bridge over the sea to Skye. Explore the beautiful Armadale peninsula and visit Armadale Castle and gardens, the home of Clan MacDonald. From here you can choose to retrace the same road home or catch the ferry back to the mainland – the latter option will give you a chance to see the Glenfinnan Viaduct which you will have crossed over while on the Jacobite Steam Train.
Day 6: Kincraig Castle, Ivergordon, Scotland
Travel further North into the Highlands – today will take you along the Shores of Loch Ness. Stop to visit Urquhart Castle and the Loch Ness Center at Drumnadrochit.
