Depart our B&B for the Isle of Skye, through Glen Shiel to Eilean Donan Castle for a visit/comfort stop. Continuing we "drive across The Atlantic" on the Skye Bridge, time will dictate our programme on Skye. We then head for Armadale and take the 45 minute sailing back to the mainland, driving through Glenfinnan towards Fort William.

South along the banks of Loch Linnhe and Glencoe for a photo stop and two nights in Oban.

Mull has been inhabited around 6000 BC. In the 6th century, Irish migrants invaded Mull and the surrounding coast, establishing the Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata. The kingdom was divided into a number of regions, each controlled by a kin group, one of which the Cenél Loairn, controlled Mull and the adjacent mainland to the east. Dál Riata was a springboard for the Christianisation of the mainland; the pivotal point was AD 563, when Columba, an Irish missionary, arrived at Iona and founded a monastery, from which to start evangelising the local population.

Along the banks of Loch Long and into MacGregor country. Past Stirling Castle, the battlefields of Bannockburn and Linlithgow Palace and home to Edinburgh for around 5pm
