Discover the beauty of Scotland on this full-day, moderately active journey. Begin at your pier where you will board your motorcoach and set out on a drive through the scenic and lush Scottish Highlands.

Your destination: the bonny, bonny banks of Loch Lomond, famed in legend and song. The second largest freshwater lake in Scotland, this loch's southern end is dotted with islands and its northern end resembles a fjord.

En route, be sure to have your cameras at the ready as you cross Erskine Bridge with distant views of Glasgow. Visit Luss, a pretty village on the west shore of Loch Lomond. In Gaelic, "lus" means plant or herb, and the village in spring and summer is abloom with vibrant roses and wildflowers. Stroll Luss and view the stone cottages, or walk out onto the pier for a closer look at Loch Lomond. Enjoy the opportunity to peruse the quaint shops for souvenirs. Then, enjoy a brief stop at Rest and Be Thankful, a scenic overlook of Highland Glens and Mountains, so named for the words inscribed on a nearby stone by soldiers who built the military road in 1753.

Tour the magnificent Inveraray Castle, one of the earliest examples of Gothic Revival and Scots Baronial architecture. The castle, which dates from 1770, is the seat of the Duke of Argyll, head of the Campbell clan. The highlights of your tour include the collection of family portraits, tapestries, and the Armory Hall, which alone contains 1,300 pieces of art, and finely appointed rooms boasting an exquisite collection of French 18th-century furniture, English china, family artifacts and objects d'art.

Take some time to shop at the castle gift shop and in the town of Inveraray before stopping for a delicious lunch at a local country hotel.

Your scenic return journey will have you traveling along the breathtakingly beautiful Loch Eck and Holy Loch en route to the village of Hunters Quay where you'll board a ferry and cross the Firth of Clyde. From there you will drive the short distance to Greenock.
