Roam from whisky country to underrated urban centers (and see plenty of castles while you’re at it).

Lochs, glens, moors—what more could you want from Scotland? Let this Solo Tour show you. Over the course of this journey, we’ll whisk you and your fellow travelers up, down, and all about this inimitable country. Begin in Glasgow before checking off some of the country’s major destinations: Loch Ness, Speyside, and Aberdeen. Along the way, you’ll stop in Inverness and the Highlands, two places that deserve their own share of the spotlight. And if you haven’t had enough old-world charm, get your fill during your trip’s grand finale—a stay in elegant Edinburgh.

Great, quick trip of Scotland. Tour guide and bus drivers were excellent. I wish that the travel days were not part of the tour duration as we lost two days of sightseeing. Also could have been based on two hotels instead moving every other day. All locations were within day...
