ITINERARY
FOR DOCHGARROCH TO BANAVIE
At 4pm we meet at the Glenmoriston Town House Hotel in Inverness and transfer
to Scottish Highlander moored at Dochgarroch. Champagne welcome followed by
a short evening cruise along the heather-lined canal to the winding hole. Dinner
aboard.
This morning we visit the 14th century fairytale Cawdor Castle immortalised
by Shakespeare with Macbeth, housing a superb collection of tapestries, pictures
and furniture with beautiful landscaped gardens. We also visit Culloden Moor,
made famous by the MacDonald and Campbell battle in the 13th century. After
lunch we cruise Loch Dochfour to Fort Augustus passing Urquhart Castle and
the south shore of Loch Ness, where there is an abundance of wildlife, and
moor near Fort Augustus Abbey. Dinner aboard.
After breakfast we cruise up the staircase of five locks through the village
of Fort Augustus, which gives us plenty of time to shop and look around this
pretty Caledonian gem. After lunch we visit Urquhart Castle and Invermoriston
Falls (or with family charters explore the Nessie Museum. Fort Augustus has
a charming heather-laced 9 or 18 hole golf course, where the official green
keepers are sheep! We dine out tonight at a local restaurant.
We leave Fort Augustus this morning and cruise to Cullochy Lock via Kytra.
After lunch we drive through Glen Moriston and stunning highland countryside
to romantic medieval Eilean Donan Castle, setting for the film Highlander.
Eilean Donan Castle has an idyllic island setting with commanding views of
three sea lochs and frequent sightings of otters, dolphins and the Isle of
Skye. Following the abortive Jacobite rising of 1719, the ruins of the castle
were abandoned for 200 years until the 20th century when a complete reconstruction
was undertaken. Dinner aboard.
Leave Cullochy Lock for a morning cruise via two locks at Laggan, and through
Lochs Oich and Lochy to Gairlochy. In the afternoon we visit the World War
II Commando memorial and the woollen shops at Spean Bridge, selling traditional
knitwear and tweeds. On the way back to the barge we enjoy a gondola trip up
into Aonach Mor Mountains to enjoy the dramatic scenery from above. Dinner
aboard.
Morning visit to the mystic battlefields of Glencoe.
On the way back visit the Ben Nevis distillery
for an insight into the secrets of the various
stages
of Whisky preparation and taste a wee dram or two. In the afternoon we cruise
to Banavie and Neptune’s Staircase, a flight of eight locks that is a
spectacular feat of engineering. Farewell Captain’s Dinner on board.
After a hearty Scottish breakfast, passengers disembark for the transfer to
Inverness hotel, airport or train station by minibus arriving there by about
midday or Fort William by about 10am.
On alternative weeks the itinerary
is in reverse direction. This itinerary is subject
to change.
