Day1: The first highlight on this wonderful trip is Scotland's largest loch - Loch Lomond. You'll then drive to the beautiful seaside town of Oban, the Gateway to the Isles. Next stop is the historic village of Kilmartin and you'll then skirt the shores of Loch Fyne before you board the ferry to Islay. On the island you'll stay in Bowmore, where you'll get an introduction to the island and enjoy a dram or two. Overnight for 3 nights: Bowmore. Days 2 and 3: The exact itinerary on each day will be as flexible as possible, so that you can get the most from your Islay experience. To find out why Islay whiskies are so special, you'll take guided tours to a number of the island's distilleries. There will, of course, be ample opportunity to sample the island's delicious whiskies along the way. Along the way, you will discover why Islay is famous for so much more than whisky. Wildlife abounds on Islay so keep your eyes open for golden eagles, seals, otters, whales, dolphins, wild geese, red deer and much more. You'll also discover traditional coastal villages, ruined castles, golden beaches and a proud Gaelic culture. Day 4: You'll leave Islay on the morning ferry and head back home. The drive takes you towards the Trossachs, and there will be ample time for exploring as you head south. You will arrive back in Edinburgh feeling relaxed and refreshed after discovering one of Scotland's best kept secrets - the Isle of Islay.
