Nice tour. Unfortunately, there is a substantial amount of driving time and too little time at Sterling Castle (only 1.5 hours — not nearly enough). ...

Get a slice of Highland life on this day trip to western Scotland, taking in one of its most scenic lochs, the old capital of Stirling, and the Trossachs: land of William Wallace and Rob Roy.

Tour Details

Departing Edinburgh, we'll head towards our first stop of the day: the Kelpies. At 98 ft (30 m) high, they are the largest equine sculptures in the world, and get their names from the mythical creatures from Scottish folklore that they depict.

We'll travel westwards for our first stop of the day at the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, one of the prettiest and largest lochs in the whole of Scotland. Once we arrive, you'll have the option of an hour-long cruise with spectacular views of the loch's many islands and surrounding mountains.

We'll continue through the Trossachs National Park, known as 'the Highlands in Miniature' for its abundance of lochs, mountains, and forests. It's also famous as the home of the legendary outlaw, Rob Roy MacGregor. We will spend time exploring the area before stopping for lunch in a small village immersed in its beautiful surroundings.

After lunch, we'll make our way through the town of Callander, past the medieval Doune Castle, before making our final stop of the day at Stirling Castle. This is one of Scotland's most historically significant fortresses, sitting high on volcanic rock and offering wonderful views of the surrounding landscape. You will have time to visit the castle and learn of the exploits of key historical figures, including William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, and Mary Queen of Scots, before hitting the road again, back to Edinburgh.

Important Info

This tour may occasionally run in reverse, beginning in Stirling and ending at Loch Lomond.
