Why this trip: Luss makes the first overnight close to Renfrew, with the loch and village reached on foot.
The trade-off: One night leaves time for the southern loch rather than a wider Highland tour.

3-day Scottish Borders history loop
Trade the busiest Highland roads for Melrose’s abbey, the Eildon Hills and Border towns. Pick one proper walk and leave time for a bakery stop and a riverside pitch.
4-day Argyll & Oban coast
Follow the A83 from Inveraray into Kilmartin’s ancient landscape, then finish with Oban’s harbour food. This mainland trip puts archaeology and small-town stops ahead of ferry logistics.
4-day Perthshire & Cairngorms
Dunkeld’s riverside paths, a bakery breakfast and Loch Morlich’s beach make this a woodland escape. The final sightseeing day includes the drive south to a Perthshire pitch.
