Day 2
You will be picked up from your accommodation between 0900 & 0930 in Inverness and travel south along Loch Ness, stopping on the way for some photos of this world famous Loch. Half way down the Loch, we head west into Glen Affric. This is a very beautiful and unique area, being one of the last remaining pockets of native Caledonian Pine Forest left standing. This landscape will take you back in time to how Scotland would have looked 500 years ago. This location was used in the film "Last of the Mohicans". We can spend some time here and enjoy a walk through the forest, alongside the River Affric.

From Glen Affric, we go east to Drumnadrochit, home of the Nessie Centre and Urquhart Castle. Options here to spend some time at either, before travelling south again along Loch Ness to Fort Augustus.
