We then head along the road to the Isles to the Glenfinnan memorial to Bonne Prince Charlie at the head of Loch Shiel. (this is also the where the spectacular railway viaduct used in Harry Potter films is.) We then head through the Great Glen en route for Loch Ness and our overnight accommoation in Fort Augustus.

Snow-capped mountains, ruined castles, hairy coos and majestic scenery – The Highlands have it all. A few snow ball fights and snowman building attempts (weather permitting) will set you up for the slap-up Christmas feast and party awaiting our return to Loch Ness.
