Coach Holidays to Scotland

Escorted Coach Tours of Scotland

Renowned for its highlands and historic cities, there can be no doubt that coach holidays to Scotland are amongst the very best ways of experiencing the landscapes and attractions that define the country and its surrounding islands. Indeed, by stepping on board one of our coaches, you can sit back and let the delights of the lochs and the Outer Hebrides unfurl in front of you.

Scotland is steeped in myths and legends from the famous folklore of the Loch Ness Monster to shape-shifting water spirits (Kelpies) all contributing to the mystique of Scotland's rich cultural heritage. Renowned for its highlands, historic cities, breath-taking landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture, there's something for everyone to enjoy on a coach holiday to Scotland.

Explore iconic landmarks such as Edinburgh Castle, Loch Ness, and the Isle of Skye and during August, experience the electrifying atmosphere of the Royal Military Edinburgh Tattoo held against the stunning backdrop of Edinburgh Castle.

Things to do in Scotland

Edinburgh & the Military Tattoo

Combined with an exploration of Edinburgh's historic landmarks including iconic Edinburgh Castle perched atop Castle Rock, the Palace of Holyrood house, and the historic Royal Mile.

Alongside its vibrant arts scene and culinary delights, Edinburgh is renowned for its festivals, a visit to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo promises an unforgettable journey into the heart and soul of Scotland's capital city.

Aberdeen

Aberdeen is often referred to as the "Granite City" due to its stunning grey stone architecture from the historic Marischal College to the elegant Union Street, which holds a distinctive character.

The city is also home to numerous museums, theatres, and music venues, providing plenty of opportunities for cultural enrichment

Fort William

Situated in the Scottish Highlands Fort William is the gateway to some of Scotland's most stunning natural landscapes.

Conquer Ben Nevis, the UK's highest peak, explore the dramatic landscapes of Glen Nevis, or take a ride on the iconic Jacobite Steam Train.

Scottish Highlands

The Scottish Highlands encompass a vast region of rugged landscapes, including mountains, hills, and plateaus.

Visit Inverness the proud capital of the Highlands, discover the mysteries of Loch Ness, explore the dramatic landscapes and picturesque villages of Skye, or visit one of the many historic fortresses including Urquhart Castle and Eilean Donan.

For film buffs, a trip to the Glenfinnan Viaduct is a must having been used for filming the Hogwarts Express scenes featured in the Harry Potter films.

Island Hopping

We also have itineraries taking place along the North West coast of Scotland and transport visitors to the rugged surroundings found on the Isle of Skye.

As well as the three major ranges at the Grampian Mountains, our coach holidays to Scotland also allow visitors to explore the twin isles of Lewis and Harris, journey through the Isle of Skye, and venture through the ancient city of Stirling.

Scottish Peaks & Villages

As well as travelling to the unspoilt mountains and dramatic peaks of the Isles, our coach holidays in Scotland also visit the most exciting spots on the mainland.

From the seaside town of Dornoch, to the quaint villages around Aberdeen and the bustling cobblestone streets of Edinburgh, we're confident that there's an itinerary to please everyone.

Cultural Experiences

In the business of entertainment, our coach tours of Scotland are comprised of exciting excursions.

Indeed, some coaches whisk travellers away to Whisky distilleries in the heart of Spey Valley whilst others head to the Eilean Donan Castle out in the Highlands.

Festivals and Events

We also invite travellers to join us at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo each August.

First performed back in 1950, the annual event held at the Castle Esplanade is one of the most exciting military displays the world over.

Scenic Beauty

For the more adventurous travellers, our trips to the 18th-century town of Drymen explore less-trodden routes to showcase the sublime waterways of Loch Lomond. We also understand that a holiday to Scotland isn't just about the destinations. We know that it's about the views too.

That is why our experienced tour operators plan routes that take in the picturesque vistas of the Sound of Bute, the stunning backdrops of Wester Ross, and the outstanding sights of the Grampian Mountains.
