Full description

Explore Scotland's Highlands on this day trip from Edinburgh. Travel aboard an airconditioned bus to sights like Loch Lomond. Admire views of Doune Castle and Stirling Castle along the way.

Be picked up in central Edinburgh and board a bus with plenty of legroom. Head west and go on a short panoramic tour of Scotland's largest city, Glasgow. See how this once industrial giant is again flourishing.

Pass the River Clyde, world-famous for its heavy industry and shipbuilding and stop on the banks of Loch Lomond, Britain's largest expanse of freshwater. Have free time where you can purchase a boat trip or to explore The Loch Lomond.

Drive through Trossachs area which was recently designated a National Park, it's a place where the magnificent landscape has fired the imagination of writers and artists for centuries.

Continue to the village of Aberfoyle, the gateway to the Trossachs. Take in its lochs, glens, and heather-covered mountains in this area which is well known as the Highlands in Miniature. The location was the backdrop for films like 'Rob Roy' and 'The Lady of the Lake.

Travel through the town of Callander and past Doune Castle, which is featured in the movie 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail.' On top of a volcanic rock sits historic Stirling Castle. Have an hour of free time to visit the Castle or buy a refreshment in the castle's Unicorn Café.

Snap pictures of stunning views of the Forth Valley, this is the site of William Wallace's famous victory in 1297, home to the Wallace Monument, a 200-foot tribute to the man immortalized in the movie Braveheart.

Go southwards as you ride back to Edinburg while listening to Scottish music. Look out the window to see Bannockburn, the scene of Robert the Bruce's famous victory over the English in 1314 and Linlithgow Palace, the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots.

Fantastic time thanks to our knowledgeable and skilled driver guide! Dougie was great fun, and experiencing Loch Ness and the Scottish Highlands was made all the more meaningful with the historical and cultural context he provided. I can easily recommend this tour!

Was a great experience, and the tour guide, I think his name was Dougie was amazing and very funny! He was very friendly and had a great knowledge of history about the places we visited, along with the Scottish history. I love Mary Queen of Scots, and also I am very interested in the the Jacobite rising, so I liked to hear those stories.
