Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond Small Group Tour from Edinburgh
Meet your guide in central Edinburgh and travel in a top of the range, 16-seat Mercedes mini-coach to the Kelpies, passing Linlithgow Palace, the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, on the way. Stop at the Kelpies monument for an up-close look at the 30-meter high horse heads. The sculptures stand as a testament to the horsepower that drove the industrial development of central Scotland. Afterward, take a back road to Loch Lomond, traveling through the protected lands of Scotland’s first national park: Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. Follow a scenic route along the 22-mile-long (35-km) loch’s eastern shore, which is dominated by the oft-climbed Ben Lomond. Break for lunch (own expense), before continuing to the city of Stirling, where you can visit one of Scotland’s most magnificent castles—Stirling Castle. Instead of waiting in long ticket lines, upgrade to include castle admission, so you can head inside and tour the interiors. Your small-group day trip concludes with the return drive to Edinburgh.
