Itinerary

Glen Coe and Oban Day Trip

Kick off your Glen Coe and Oban day trip heading north from Glasgow to Loch Lomond, stopping in Luss to stretch your legs, snap photos, and enjoy the postcard-perfect village views.

Next, explore Inveraray, a pretty town on Loch Fyne, with its fairytale-style castle and quirky waterfront shops. Then pause at Kilchurn Castle on Loch Awe for one of Scotland’s most iconic photo opportunities.

By lunchtime, arrive in Oban, the “Gateway to the Isles.” Sample fresh seafood at the harbour, relax with a coffee or ice cream by the water, walk up McCaig’s Tower for panoramic views, or browse the local crafts and whisky shops.

Back on the road, enter Glen Coe, with towering peaks and wild valleys that have inspired countless films – a must-see Highland landscape. Before returning to Glasgow from our epic Glen Coe and Oban day trip, we stop briefly in Tyndrum for a snack or coffee and a final chance to soak in the mountains – the perfect end to an epic Highland adventure.

Tour Highlights

Small But Mighty
Small But Mighty
Travelling in a wee group means more banter, more space, and plenty of laughs along the way. Cosy, right? Just a heads-up – while we usually travel in smaller vehicles, sometimes a larger bus might be used due to availability.
Oban
Oban
Oban is a bustling seaside town on Scotland’s west coast. Whether it’s fresh sea air or local seafood you’re craving, Oban’s got you covered. Watch ferries depart for the Hebrides, look up at Oban’s answer to the Colosseum, and dance the night away in The View Ceilidh House.
Glen Coe
Glen Coe
As far as Scottish scenery goes, you don’t get more dramatic than the mighty Glencoe. ‘Glen’ is Gaelic for valley, and this jaw-dropper was deeply carved into the landscape during the Ice Age. From the sprawling peaks to crystal-clear rivers, Glencoe is guaranteed to blow your wee socks off.
Kilchurn Castle
Kilchurn Castle
Kilchurn Castle has got everything a medieval dream is made of - rugged stone walls, epic loch views, and stories to give you goosebumps. It was first constructed in the 15th century and is now guarding the shore of Loch Awe as a ruined structure on a rocky peninsula.
Luss, Loch Lomond
Luss, Loch Lomond
Luss is a picturesque wee conservation village on the banks of Loch Lomond. Admire the rows of adorable cottages, stroll along the beach, and walk out onto the pier for epic views across the loch to Ben Lomond and beyond.
Inveraray
Inveraray
Inveraray is a wee town with lots of character, from its awesome location on Loch Fyne to the pretty buildings with striking black and white architecture. Grab lunch from a local eatery and soak up the surrounding scenery!
