Tour itinerary
From Edinburgh, we head for The Kelpies. During our stop, we'll be able to get up close to these towering horse-head sculptures, which celebrate the role that heavy horses played in Scotland's industrial past.
Next, we head northwards and pass Stirling with views of its impressive Castle, the Wallace Monument and the Ochil Hills beyond.
Then it’s into the Highlands through the scenic beauty of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, once home to the infamous cattle thief and rogue, Rob Roy MacGregor. We’ll hear tales of his adventures as we make our way through the sprawling Strathyre Forest.
Next, follow the shoreline of beautiful Loch Earn before stopping in Crieff to visit Scotland’s oldest whisky distillery. On your visit to Glenturret, you will learn how the ‘water of life’ is made, and you can sample a wee dram for yourself.
There will also be time for a leisurely lunch in the distillery’s award-winning restaurant.
Explore the peaceful Hermitage and take a short woodland walk to see the spectacular Black Linn Falls on the River Braan.
Next, stop in Dunkeld with its spectacular cathedral on the banks of the River Tay before returning south through Highland Perthshire and through the ancient Kingdom of Fife. You’ll get amazing views of the Forth Bridge as we make our way back to Edinburgh.
Back in Edinburgh, you will have free time to have dinner and explore the city before making your own way to Edinburgh Castle.
Once seen and never forgotten: there’s always something magical about the World famous Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Performed on the esplanade with Edinburgh Castle as a backdrop, the location is simply breathtaking.
Sit back and enjoy the drama, excitement and spectacle of the visiting performers, highland dancing, and the stirring massed pipes and drums as the sun sets over Scotland’s romantic capital city.
