Next, continue to Fort William, located under Ben Nevis, Britain's tallest mountain, for lunch. The journey then takes you around the shoreline of Loch Ness, where you will see the ruins of Urquhart Castle, concluding the first day in Inverness, where you'll spend the night in a hotel.

On the second day, you can customize your itinerary with options such as visiting Culloden Battlefield, Clava Cairns, or participating in a whisky tasting at Dalwhinnie Distillery.
