What To Expect
Luss
After collection from the Greenock port, we head north, crossing the River Clyde and heading towards the Scottish Highlands.

Rest and be Thankful
From Luss, our journey continues deeper into the National Park. Our route will take us into Argyll and over the ‘Rest and Be Thankful’ – a stunning mountain pass viewpoint that divides Glen Kinglas from Glen Croe. The name comes from a stone inscribed by soldiers who built the original military road in 1753, expressing their gratitude for reaching the summit. We’ll pause here to enjoy the views and learn about the history of this spot. After this short stop, the road opens up onto Loch Fyne which is famous around the world for its succulent seafood, including oysters, langoustines, and mussels.

Take the opportunity to explore the opulent rooms and picturesque gardens of this stiking castle, which has stood on the shores of Loch Fyne since the 1400s. Please note - The Castle is closed Tuesdays and Wednsdays during the season. We recommend a visit to Inveraray Town Jail as an alternative.
