day 1Lake District, Glasgow & Oban
Manchester - Pooley Bridge - Glasgow (Scotland) - (Luss) - Oban. We depart Manchester early, heading north towards the Scottish border. But we've got one English gem to visit first, the Lake District village of Pooley Bridge. This area inspired Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth, and we're sure you'll love the tapestry of majestic landscapes just as much.
Crossing the border, we arrive in Glasgow, where there's free time to explore this Scottish metropolis. Known for its music scene and as a key shipping city, it's the most populous city in Scotland.
Our next stop is the small village of Luss, reached by a scenic drive through the Highlands. Luss is on the shore of Loch Lomond, and you'll have plenty of time to snap a photo and admire the view. We then make our way to Oban, stopping at sights of interest and places the guide thinks the group will like along the way. On arrival, the evening is free to explore this coastal town.
Accommodation: Kathmore, Altavona or similar.
