Overview
Your Glen Coe and Oban day tour begins as we travel north from Glasgow along the banks of Loch Lomond. Enjoy a short stop in the picturesque conservation village of Luss, with its flower-filled cottages, scenic pier, and stunning lochside views – perfect for that first photo of the day.
Cross into the Highlands to reach the elegant, whitewashed town of Inveraray, built in the 18th century on the shores of Loch Fyne. Take time to grab a morning treat from a local bakery or browse the town’s charming shops and waterfront.
Pause to capture one of Scotland’s most iconic views – the romantic ruins of Kilchurn Castle standing proudly on the edge of Loch Awe, framed by rugged Highland peaks.
We continue our day tour in Oban, enjoy your free time exploring this lively seaside town at your own pace. Try the local seafood and sample the day’s catch at one of Oban’s famous harbourside shacks or restaurants. For stunning panoramic views over the town, take a short walk up to McCaig’s Tower.
Continue north to the dramatic landscapes of Glen Coe, one of Scotland’s most famous glens. Learn about the area’s volcanic past, wildlife, and the moving history of the 1692 Glencoe Massacre.
On the way back to Glasgow, your Glen Coe and Oban day tour stops briefly in the village of Tyndrum, a small Highland crossroads surrounded by dramatic scenery. Grab a coffee or snack before heading back to Glasgow.
