We start the day by making our way into lonely Rannoch Moor and into Glen Coe, Scotland's most famous glen and the scene of the terrible massacre in 1692. We will make a stop in the midst of this awe-inspiring scenery where you can enjoy the magic ofthis special place.
From Fort William the striking scenery of the Great Glen unfolds ahead of us - first Loch lochy, then Loch Oich and finally Loch Ness.
