Cruise Description
7 Night Cruise sailing from Oban to Inverness aboard Lord of the Highlands.

Take in the stunning vistas of the Highlands and the geological fault of the Great Glen as we transit the 62 mile coast to coast channel of the Caledonian Canal. Passing through pretty villages, scenic lochs and stunning countryside, we can also appreciate the engineering masterpiece of the man-made sections of this inland waterway.

Travel back in time and immerse yourself in the history of Clan MacDougall at Dunollie Castle with its far-reaching views over Oban Bay and the isles. During lunch, we sail to Tobermory to wander at will through the brightly coloured houses and delightful independent shops which line the harbour.

We travel to the sacred Isle of Iona, the last resting place of some 50 Scottish Kings and where St. Columba introduced Christianity to Scotland, before discovering the 700 year old seat of the Clan Maclean, Duart Castle, which dominates the skyline of the Sound of Mull.

Established in 1825 and situated at the foot of Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis distillery is one of the oldest licensed distilleries in Scotland. Here we enjoy a guided tour and tutored tasting before heading to the Glenfinnan Monument and viaduct, where Bonnie Prince Charlie first raised his standard.

After ascending the spectacular eight interconnected locks of Neptune’s Staircase and transiting the canal, we arrive at Fort Augustus and explore the ruins of Urquhart Castle which overlooks Loch Ness. Our 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.
