Tour itinerary
We leave Edinburgh behind and head westwards to our first stop at the impressive Kelpies, the world's largest equine sculptures devoted to the horse-powered heritage of Central Scotland and designed by Andy Scott. They also commemorate the mythological transforming beasts said to live in our lochs, rivers and streams, who possess the strength and endurance of 100 horses.
Thrilled by our visit to these famous statues, we rejoin our coach for the journey into the picturesque Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park.
We'll make a stop in the pretty village of Balmaha so you can enjoy the views of the "bonnie, bonnie banks" over to Ben Lomond. Here, you will have the opportunity to go on a woodland walk that will reward you with amazing views of the loch. Looking out over the loch, the vista is sure to provide you with a song in your heart!
Later we make our way to historic Stirling, where there is the opportunity to explore imposing Stirling Castle, one of Scotland's most important buildings historically and architecturally. Many royals have been crowned at Stirling Castle, including Mary Queen of Scots, and it played a central role in William Wallace's (Braveheart) fight in the Wars of Independence.
If you prefer, you can opt to discover Stirling Old Town, which grew up in the shadow of the castle, literally in the heart of Scotland!
After exploring the many attractions of Stirling, we board our coach for the return journey to Edinburgh.
