Explore what became the cornerstone of medieval, royal power, before heading toward the foothills of Ben Nevis. Here you’ll retire for the night at Britain's most special country retreat, Inverlochy Castle. Enjoy proper British cuisine, stroll the gardens or relax beside a roaring fire.
2. Isle of SkyeYour next stop is the most photographedcastle in Scotland, Eilean Donnan. Perched on an island overlooking the Isle of Sky, it sits where three sea lochs converge. A bridge takes you from the forested mountains surrounding the island to the grounds where you can climb ancient battlements or look for dolphin in the shining waters below.
