Highlights
- ✓See Loch Lomond and the Trossachs—the “Highlands in miniature”
- ✓This budget-friendly tour lets you choose to visit the sights you prefer
- ✓Round-trip transit from Edinburgh is provided via comfortable coach
- ✓Immerse yourself in the wild and dramatic Scottish scenery
What you'll see & do
- ✓The Kelpies are the world's largest equine sculptures in the world. At 100ft tall they are a great photo opportunity for visitors and locals alike.
- ✓We visit the village of Balloch on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. Passengers can purchase tickets to join a 1 hour cruise on the loch, offering picturesque scenery and interesting history on the area. If you prefer to stay on dry land then, Balloch Country Park is a perfect spot to explore.
- ✓We follow the dramatic Duke’s Pass and deep into the Trossachs, the ‘Highlands in miniature’. Opinions differ on the meaning behind the Trossachs, but our favourite is from the Gaelic meaning ‘the bristly country’. We'll stop for a photo or two in this area, as well as a longer stop to enjoy some lunch. This landscape inspired Sir Walter Scott’s poem The Lady of the Lake and his novel Rob Roy and we think you’ll be inspired too, whether to pick up your camera or your notebook. Look out for a favourite photographic subject, our woolly, long-horned Highland cows. We call them hairy coos!
- ✓Passengers have the opportunity to visit Stirling Castle (tickets not included,see tour exclusions), great royal residence of Stuart Kings and of Mary, Queen of Scots, who was declared monarch here in 1543, aged only nine months. It’s an imposing sight, perched on its crag, and you’ll have 90 minutes to explore this historic gem.
