From big cities to small towns and a wonderful experience in the Highlands, there's so much to see! This tour is a lovely way to experience Scotland!
Departing Edinburgh we head to the West of Scotland to Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, and enjoy a tour of the sights to see how this once industrial city has become very cosmopolitan and recently hosted the common wealth games and in previous years has won the European City of Architecture and Culture Awards.
After Glasgow we head to the Bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, Britain's largest expanse of water. We arrive at the enchanting Village of Balloch where you will have the option to join a boat cruise of the Loch. Balloch is often referred to as the gateway to the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. The Loch Lomond and Trossachs area is a place where the magnificent landscape has fired the imagination of writers and artists for centuries.
Our next stop will be at the charming village of Aberfoyle. With its lochs, glens and mountains; this area is often described as “Highlands in Miniature” and you can see why the Highland scenery was Sit Walter Scott’s favorite destination, he even used the location as the backdrop for his movies “Rob Roy” and “The Lady of the Lake”. Here we will have time to have lunch, enjoy the quaint shops and have a stroll around the village.
Soon after our lunch stop we will enjoy some stunning scenery and drive through the picturesque village of Callander, and pass the massive 14th century Doune Castle, which was featured in the movie “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” and more recently in the series 'Outlander'.
Our final stop of the day will be the City of Stirling, your coach will take you to the Castle esplanade for you to enjoy magnificent views over the Forth Valley towards the Wallace Monument, a 200-foot memorial to William Wallace, who I am sure we all remember from inspiring the movie 'Braveheart'. You will have over an hour to explore Stirling or perhaps visit the Castle (not included)
Suitable and relaxing music will be played during your comfortable drive back to Edinburgh.
