Thursday
We discover one of the hidden
wonders of the Highlands. A power station buried
deep under Ben Cruachan – the hollow
mountain. At its centre lies a massive cavern,
high enough to house the Tower of London. The
hollow mountain is unique, an underground
world on a spectacular scale, a five star
attraction, not to be missed. From here we head
north to Fort William. We have time to explore
this popular town before we are on our way south
alongside Loch Linnhe to Ballachulish and Loch
Leven. The Glencoe Visitor Centre is our
afternoon break and here you can learn all about
the feuding clans and the infamous massacre.

Moor to Crianlarich.
