Guest Speaker Cruise
Discover the delights of the Sounds of Sleat and Mull and voyage through the tranquil waters of the Caledonian Canal, one of Britain’s most famous inland waterways. Visit medieval castles, sacred Iona, the Isles of Mull and Skye and transit the 60-mile-long canal which cuts through the Great Glen.
Partially destroyed in a Jacobite uprising in 1719, Eilean Donan Castle lay in ruins for the best part of 200 years until Lieutenant Colonel John MacRae-Gilstrap bought the island in 1911 and restored the castle to its former glory. We trace the legacy of Clan Donald at the Museum of The Isles housed in the grounds of Armadale Castle.
Explore the island capital of Tobermory where brightly painted houses line the waterfront and travel to the sacred isle of Iona to relish the tranquility of the restored Benedictine abbey. Embark on a walking tour of Oban which takes in the panoramic vistas from McCaig’s Tower.
At Glenfinnan, visit the iconic monument honouring the fallen Jacobite clansmen, framed by spectacular Highland scenery. Raise your bonnet to the lone Highlander on the top.
From sea level, Lord of the Highlands ascends the spectacular eight interconnected locks of Neptune’s Staircase to Banavie, and we spend the day relaxing on board as we transit the length of the canal which connects the Great Glen’s four lochs.
Our final visit is Culloden, the infamous battlefield where Bonnie Prince Charlie’s Jacobite forces were defeated in 1746, and the well-preserved Bronze Age cemetery complex of Clava Cairns. |
