Day 1: Inverness, Gateway to the Gloom

Land in Inverness, the Highland’s rugged hub. We’ll grab you from the airport and settle you into a cozy inn with a crackling fire. Afternoon’s for meeting your guide—a kilted Scot who knows every ghost tale in the book. Over haggis and a dram of whisky, they’ll spook you with a story about the Green Lady, a spirit who haunts nearby castles. Take a quick stroll along the River Ness, maybe spot a faerie light in the dusk. Bed early; the Highlands wait for no one.
Note: Inverness is chilly. Pack a scarf.

Day 2: Glencoe’s Eerie Valleys

Head out early to Glencoe, a valley so dramatic it feels cursed. The mist hangs low, and your guide tells the tale of the 1692 massacre, where clans were betrayed—locals say the dead still wail on stormy nights. Hike a short trail through the glen, past jagged peaks and streams that whisper. Stop at a ruined bothy tied to a faerie legend—step inside, and you might feel watched. Afternoon’s for Eilean Donan Castle, a postcard-perfect spot with a ghost piper who plays at midnight. Back to a Glencoe inn for shepherd’s pie and more creepy stories by the fire.

Day 3: Lochs and Last Haunts

Morning’s for Loch Ness—yeah, that Loch Ness. No monster hunt, but the water’s dark and the vibes are off. Your guide shares a Celtic myth about a kelpie, a shape-shifting spirit that drowns the unwary. Visit Urquhart Castle’s ruins, where a lady in white supposedly roams the ramparts. Grab a quick fish and chips by the loch, then head to Cawdor Castle, tied to Macbeth and haunted by a murdered earl’s ghost. Your guide’s final tale is about faeries who steal souls in the Highlands. Back to Inverness by afternoon, with time for a souvenir—maybe a tartan scarf or a wee dram to take home. Airport by evening, but the Highlands’ chill lingers.
