Day Trips from Glasgow

Most day trips from Glasgow head north into the Highlands: Loch Lomond is under an hour away, while Loch Ness and the Glenfinnan Viaduct make 11-hour days via Glencoe.

Loch Ness Tours from Glasgow

Loch Ness is about four hours north of Glasgow, so these trips take 11 to 12 hours. The road passes Loch Lomond and Glencoe, and most offer a boat cruise on the loch.

Isle of Skye Tours from Glasgow

No one-day tour reaches Skye from Glasgow, so these trips last 3 to 7 days. All of them cross Glencoe, and most stop at Eilean Donan Castle on the way to the island.

Outlander Tours from Glasgow

The series' filming locations sit within two hours of Glasgow: Midhope Castle, Jamie's Lallybroch, Doune Castle and the villages of Culross and Falkland. Tours last 8 to 9 hours.

Loch Lomond Tours from Glasgow

Loch Lomond is less than an hour from Glasgow. Some trips pair it with Stirling Castle and the Trossachs; others stop in Luss on the way to Oban or Glencoe.

Multi-Day Tours

Tours of 2 to 7 days that sleep in the Highlands: Loch Ness and Inverness in two days, the Isle of Skye in three to five, or a week through the Highlands and islands.

Stirling Castle Tours from Glasgow

Stirling Castle is under an hour from Glasgow, so these trips add a second stop: Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, or the Kelpies and Midhope Castle. Most offer a loch cruise.

Glenfinnan Viaduct Tours from Glasgow

The Harry Potter viaduct makes an 11-hour day from Glasgow through Glencoe and Fort William. From April to October you may see the Jacobite steam train cross it.
