Glencoe & The Highlands

If you’re craving a day away from the city that feels properly “Scotland”, this is it. Our Glencoe & Loch Lomond private day tour from Glasgow takes you from peaceful lochside villages to some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the Highlands, with time to breathe it in, take the photos, and hear the real stories behind the landscapes.

This tour is private and tailored, so the pace is comfortable and the day flows naturally. No rushing, no crowded group schedules, just a well-planned route, local insight, and Scotland at its most spectacular.

We start on the shores of Loch Lomond in the postcard-pretty village of Luss. With its stone cottages, neat gardens and loch views, it’s an ideal first stop, gentle, scenic, and a great way to ease into the day. You’ll have time for a stroll through the village, and along the water, and if you enjoy history, there’s plenty here too, including the village church and an old graveyard with intriguing stones that hint at Luss’s long story.

From there, the scenery begins to change, the road opens up, the mountains rise, and you’ll know you’re heading into the Highlands.

In Glencoe, we stop to take in the iconic Three Sisters, the steep ridges that define the glen and make it one of Scotland’s most photographed landscapes. This is a place of natural drama and deep history, and your guide will bring context to what you’re seeing, including the story of the 1692 Glencoe Massacre, one of Scotland’s most haunting chapters.

Whether you’re here for the history, the geology, or simply the sheer scale of the place, Glencoe leaves an impression.

Glencoe and the Three Sisters

To round out the experience, we can visit the Glencoe Visitor Centre, where you’ll find excellent displays on the glen’s landscape, wildlife and history. It’s also a good place for a break, with a café for lunch and the chance to see a replica turf house, offering a glimpse into traditional Highland living. It’s a thoughtful stop that adds depth to the day, especially if you like understanding the “why” behind the views.

A short drive brings us to the Falls of Falloch, a beautiful woodland waterfall tucked just off the road. It’s an easy stop that feels like a proper hidden corner of Scotland, rushing water, mossy rocks, and that fresh Highland air you can practically taste. It’s especially impressive after rainfall, and it’s a favourite spot for photos.
