The Edinburgh to Scottish Highlands route

The Scottish Highlands are a large area and where we take you depends entirely on your destination. There are two main corridors from Edinburgh. The A9 corridor runs north through Perth, Highland Perthshire, the Cairngorms, and on to Inverness. This covers the eastern and central Highlands: Aviemore, the Spey valley, Inverness, and destinations further north like Dornoch and the far north coast.

The A82 corridor heads west through Stirling, Crianlarich, and Glencoe, then north to Fort William and the Great Glen. From Fort William you can reach the west coast, the Road to the Isles, and the Isle of Skye. This is the more scenic route, passing through Loch Lomond-side, Rannoch Moor, and Glencoe.

We will recommend the best route and realistic drive time once we know your exact destination. Some locations, like the north-west Highlands or remote estates, require longer drives on single-track roads. We know these roads well and can advise on the most comfortable approach.

Suggested stops along the way

Route-dependent. On the A9 corridor: House of Bruar or Pitlochry. On the A82 corridor: the Green Welly Stop at Tyndrum or the Glencoe viewpoint. We will suggest specific stops once we know your destination.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which part of the Highlands I need?

Tell us your accommodation name, postcode, or the area you are visiting, and we will confirm the exact route and drive time. The Highlands cover a third of Scotland, so specifics matter.

Can you drop us at a remote estate or lodge?

Yes. We regularly transfer guests to estates, shooting lodges, and self-catering properties on single-track roads and private tracks. We confirm access details with your host before the day.

Is it better to fly to Inverness instead?

It depends on your final destination. For the eastern Highlands (Aviemore, Inverness, Speyside), flying to Inverness and taking a shorter transfer is often quicker. For the western Highlands (Glencoe, Fort William, Skye), Edinburgh is usually the better starting point.

Can we combine the transfer with sightseeing?

Absolutely. We can add stops along the way, turning a straightforward transfer into a half-day or full-day experience. Popular additions include Glencoe, Loch Ness, Blair Castle, and whisky distilleries. We will tailor the route to your interests.
