Follow the shores of Loch Lomond to the historic village of Inveraray. Wonder at the standing stones and mysterious circles of Kilmartin before taking a ferry ride to the island of Islay, located off the west coast of Scotland. During the ferry ride catch glimpses of wildlife, particularly birds, but perhaps even dolphins and whales depending on the season. Overnight in cottages on the ground of the Bowmore Distillery, then over the next couple of days tour various distilleries and explore quaint villages, shop for island handcrafts and enjoy coastal walks. On the final day follow the coast to the bustling harbor town of Oban, and explore the area before returning to Glasgow or Edinburgh, or you may choose to continue to explore more of Scotland’s windswept islands.
