Cruise Description |
Regardless of the season, the Highlands and Islands possess a timeless, untainted beauty that intensifies with each passing month. This refreshing cruise of the Inner Isles and the Caledonian Canal reveals Scotland’s brightest autumn gems from the warmth and comfortable ambience of Lord of the Highlands.
Mull’s Georgian harbour town of Tobermory offers pleasant strolls and the opportunity to browse the brightly colour-washed waterfront shops before sailing to your overnight berth in the remote village of Inverie. On Skye, discover the epic history of the Clan Donald at Armadale Castle ahead of a visit to the Small Isle of Eigg, a breathtaking spot for walks off the beaten track beneath the pitchstone ridge of An Sgùrr. Sail to Craignure on Mull, for a tour of Duart Castle, ancestral seat of Clan Maclean for over 700 years before cruising Loch Linnhe to Corpach at the entrance of the Caledonian Canal. At the Glenfinnan Monument Visitor Centre, you discover the story of Bonnie Prince Charlie and the moving tribute to those who died fighting for the Jacobite cause. Lord of the Highlands ascends the spectacular eight interconnected locks of Neptune’s Staircase to Banavie, and sails through Loch Lochy and Loch Oich to Fort Augustus. At Urquhart Castle, discover 1,000 years of drama, experience a glimpse of medieval life and enjoy stunning views over Loch Ness. Your final port of call is the mightiest artillery fortification in Britain, Fort George, created by King George II as the ultimate defence against further Jacobite unrest.
