Day 1: Switzerland - Glasgow
Flight from Zurich to Glasgow.
Day 2: Glasgow - Isle of Skye
From the bustling commercial metropolis into the quintessential Scottish landscape. Your route first runs along Loch Lomond to the impressive Glen Coe, the "Valley of Tears". Its breathtaking beauty is overshadowed only by the events of its history. An entire clan was betrayed and slaughtered here - a dark chapter of Scottish history. You then cross the Skye Bridge onto the Isle of Skye.
Day 3: Isle of Skye - Outer Hebrides
The Hebridean island of Skye boasts a landscape full of contrasts. Gentle hills and rugged cliffs alternate with green meadows and bare mountains. A popular photo subject is the basalt cliffs known as the "Kilt Rocks", which resemble a pleated tartan kilt. At midday you take a ferry from Uig to the Outer Hebrides.
Day 4: Outer Hebrides
On Lewis, the northernmost island of the Outer Hebrides, there is only one town, Stornoway. Well worth seeing is the Broch of Carloway, a defensive tower with walls 3 m thick. Harris is the southern part of the island, with its main village of Tarbert. Harris is famous for the tweed of the same name, which still uses only selected wool from Scottish sheep.
Day 5: Outer Hebrides - Wick
From Stornoway you take a ferry to Ullapool. You skirt the southern tip of Loch Eriboll and enjoy a drive through charming scenery to Tongue. Moorland dotted with lochs and rugged coastlines accompany you all the way to the north of Scotland.
Day 6: Island of Orkney
Ferry crossing to the Orkney Islands. With your local guide you discover the fascinating island world with its unspoilt nature, endless pastures and deserted beaches. You visit the Neolithic settlement of Skara Brae. In the capital, Kirkwall, you stroll through narrow lanes lined with rows of houses with a Norwegian feel. It becomes truly mystical at the Ring of Brodgar, a stone circle erected around 2500 BC that is larger than Stonehenge.
Day 7: Wick - Inverness
Today Dunrobin Castle awaits you. Its extensive gardens, with dreamlike views of the sea, were modelled on the gardens of Versailles. You then follow the coast road to the Dornoch Firth, where up to 600 dolphins frolic in the open sea. Overnight stay in Inverness or Nairn.
Day 8: Inverness - Edinburgh
You travel through the heart of the magnificent Highlands and pay tribute to the Duke of Atholl; the snow-white Blair Castle has been the family seat for centuries and is surrounded by a wonderful garden. Near Pitlochry you visit a whisky distillery and are initiated into the secrets of the "water of life". (Optional) Today you can enjoy the spectacular Royal Military Tattoo (August departure dates only).
Day 9: Edinburgh
The city is a focal point of culture and history. The world-famous Royal Mile is best explored on foot. It links the proud Edinburgh Castle with the stately Holyrood Palace, today's official royal residence. Afternoon at leisure.
Day 10: Edinburgh - Switzerland
Return flight from Edinburgh to Switzerland.
