Crianlarich to Oban Scotrail return train journey | Glenturret Distillery tour & toasting | Fort William | Entertainment
Our Spring tour to Scotland takes us into the heart of Scotland where we view spectacular mountain scenery, lovely lochs and of course a whisky distillery visit.
A morning departure from your front door for the journey north through the Yorkshire Dales entering Scotland at Gretna, on past the city of Glasgow and along the shore of Loch Lomond to Crianlarich and your hotel, time to relax before dinner.
Today we join the Scotrail train at Crianlarich station for the journey to Oban, the lines takes you through the Pass of Brander and alongside Loch Etive. Considered by many to be the most scenic rail journey in the world.
Youll travel through a daunting landscape of mountains, steep-sided lochs, and heather moors. Keep an eye out for red deer, silhouetted on a skyline or half-hidden in the heather. Youll pass some of the smallest, remotest stations on the network a few buildings, and nothing more for miles around. And youll be glad youve come by train, passing through country where no roads were ever built.
Look out for the might Ben Lui, halfway between Crianlarich and Loch Awe on the Oban Line.
Oban is the major port for the Western Isles ferries and the harbour is a hive of activity. The town has a level seafront backed by a wooded escarpment, with the skyline dominated by McCaigs Folly, resembling the Coliseum in Rome. We have time to explore and have lunch before catching the return train.
For our excursion today we head along Glen Dochart to Killin, with the Falls of Dochart rushing through the village, from here we drive along Loch Tay to Aberfeldy where we have a lunch break. This afternoon we head south along the Sma Glen to Crieff, here we visit the Glenturret Distillery, makers of the Famous Grouse for a tour and wee dram. Our return journey takes us along Loch Earn and Glen Ogle to Crianlarich.
We begin today with a journey across the wild and desolate Rannoch Moor to Fort William, passing through some of the most inhospitable country in Scotland with spectacular scenery and beautiful lochs. We have time to explore this popular town before we are on our way south alongside Loch Linnhe to Ballachulish and Loch Leven, the Glencoe Visitor centre is our afternoon break and here you can learn all about the feuding glans and the infamous massacre.
This morning we depart from Bonnie Scotland and begin our journey home with comfort stops enroute.
