Itinerary
Day 1 – Arrival at Glasgow and Travel by Seaplane to the Western Highlands
On arrival at Glasgow Airport we will arrange a breathtaking experience as you travel to your Luxury Hotel in the Western Highlands by Loch Lomond Seaplane.
You will fly First Class in an iconic luxury seaplane and feel as though you are back in the unhurried halcyon days of travel with a window seat allowing you to enjoy the best scenery that Scotland has to offer. Leaving behind the historic cityscape of Glasgow en-route to the magnificent Western Highlands, stunning panoramas will unfold - mile after mile of lochs, mountains, glens and ancient castles will glide past as you travel in style to Scotland’s dramatic West Coast.
The images of Goat Fell on Arran, the Paps of Jura, and the imposing cliffs on Mull rising from the Atlantic Ocean, will be etched in your memory forever.
As you travel north we will arrange for your seaplane to land on Loch Tay where you will enjoy a fabulous lunch at the award-winning Ardeonaig Hotel.
Dinner this evening will be at Inverlochy Castle Hotel, an experience to savour. The Hotel’s three dining rooms are each decorated with period and elaborate furniture presented as gifts to the Castle from the King of Norway. The menu features modern British cuisine which has been awarded 3 AA red Rosettes and 1 Michelin Star. The Hotel’s 5-course Gourmet Dinner responds to the availability of local produce, with every dish being cooked with freshly prepared ingredients.
Day 2 – Activity Day at Inverlochy Castle
Inverlochy Castle is set amid one of Scotland’s most magnificent landscapes, beside Loch Linnhe and metres from Ben Nevis. To allow your group to take advantage of this stunning location and experience some of the exciting activities that are available in the area we will arrange an activity day based at the Castle.
The day will commence with a Clay Pigeon Shoot within the Castle grounds where you will benefit from expert tuition at one of Scotland’s leading shooting schools. Archery, air rifle, knife and tomahawk throwing will also allow you to test your aim.
Then leave the manicured lawns of the hotel and test your skills in handling a four wheel drive vehicle over the rugged terrain in the picturesque countryside of Kinlochleven.
Following lunch back at the Hotel we will arrange an afternoon of fishing, one of Scotland’s best loved activities. With the dedicated attention of your own private ghillie, you will learn first hand about fly fishing and spinning on your exclusively reserved beat.
