Glen Coe, Oban and Lochs guided tour from Glasgow

Embark on a day tour to Glen Coe and Oban, setting off north from Glasgow along the serene banks of Loch Lomond. A brief stop in the charming conservation village of Luss offers an opportunity to admire its scenic pier, flower-filled cottages, and striking lochside views – an ideal spot for your first photo of the day.

Venture into the Highlands to discover the elegant town of Inveraray, an 18th-century gem nestled on the shores of Loch Fyne. Take a moment to savour a morning treat from a local bakery or explore the town’s delightful shops and waterfront. Further along, pause to behold one of Scotland’s most iconic sights – the romantic ruins of Kilchurn Castle perched on the edge of Loch Awe, framed by rugged Highland peaks.

The journey continues in Oban, where you can spend your free time exploring this bustling seaside town at your own pace. Sample the local seafood at one of Oban’s renowned harbourside shacks or restaurants. For a panoramic view over the town, take a short walk up to McCaig’s Tower.

The tour then heads north to the dramatic landscapes of Glen Coe, one of Scotland’s most famous glens. Discover the area’s volcanic past, abundant wildlife, and the poignant history of the 1692 Glencoe Massacre. On the return trip to Glasgow, there's a brief stop in Tyndrum, a small Highland crossroads enveloped by dramatic scenery. Here, you can grab a coffee or snack before concluding your Glen Coe and Oban day tour back in Glasgow.
