Scotland's lochs & glens road trip
Seven days from Glencoe to the Cairngorms.
Scotland's lochs and glens — the linear valleys carved by Pleistocene ice — are the country's iconic landscapes. This week-long road trip from Edinburgh threads the best of them: Glencoe's amphitheatre, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, Loch Ness, the Great Glen, Glen Affric and the Cairngorms. Built around B-roads and laybys with viewpoints, not motorways.
