Timberbush Tours

Observe a guided tour through Oban and its neighboring West Highland lochs and castles, immersing yourself in the rich historical tapestry of this captivating region before returning to Glasgow.



During this tour, one encounters the mesmerizing lakes, picturesque mountain vistas, and historically significant castles of the Western Highlands. Commencing from Glasgow, travelers traverse the Firth of Clyde, approaching Dumbarton’s iconic rock fortress. The itinerary then introduces the charming Luss Conservation Village, situated by Loch Lomond, offering an opportunity to stroll along its shoreline or engage with the quaint community.

As the journey progresses through rugged landscapes, numerous majestic castles and serene lochs come into view. During the ascent into the Highlands, visitors pause to savor a meal at Oban, a fishing town renowned for its fresh seafood. The southern route then unveils breathtaking sights such as Kilchurn Castle, perched atop Loch Awe, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding area.

The tour concludes with a visit to Inveraray, the ancestral home of the Duke of Argyll. This destination allows for exploration of two distinct options: visiting Inveraray Castle during April to October when open to the public, or exploring the town’s Georgian architecture and expansive thoroughfares instead. Upon returning to Glasgow, travelers embark upon the final leg of their journey via the Rest and Be Thankful pass.
