Practical planner
Details to review before reserving
Expect the option to do one or two short walks; bring comfortable footwear for uneven ground, weatherproof layers, and a camera. Plan for a village lunch stop rather than a catered meal.
Bring sturdy shoes if you plan the optional walks—the itinerary includes at least one relatively steep walk for those with the energy to climb a bell tower or hill viewpoints.
You will have time in Inveraray to buy souvenirs, tartan items and whisky; bring cash or card for purchases on the busy main street.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
