Day 1 - Outward Travel

Day 2 - Half Day to Inveraray

  • Overlooking the still waters of Loch Fyne, Inveraray is a traditional county town in Argyll. Founded in 1745 by the 3rd Duke of Argyll, the town is a classic example of an 18th century town and Scottish Georgian architecture. Key buildings worth visiting include the Inveraray Castle, set in extensive grounds and the fairy tale home to the Duke of Argyll, the neoclassical church and Inveraray Jail and courthouse, now an award-winning museum (entrance fees apply).

Day 3 - Excursion including Waverley Paddle Steamer

  • The Waverley is the last sea going paddle steamer in the world, named after Sir Walter Scott’s Waverley Novels. She was built to replace the 1899 Waverley which was sunk by enemy action on May 29 1940 at Dunkirk. Enjoy spectacular views of the Scottish coast on this magnificently restored vessel, with its towering funnels and nostalgic steam engines. Step on board this living part of history, as you embark on a trip you will never forget.

Day 4 - Return Travel
