Tour itinerary
This Loch Lomond tour from Edinburgh starts with a drive to the medieval city of Stirling.
On the outskirts of the city, we'll pass Bannockburn, the location of the famous battle in 1314, where the Scots, under the command of King Robert the Bruce, won a famous victory over the army of King Edward II of England.
Stirling Castle dominates the city and surrounding countryside and is one of the historic buildings that have come to symbolise Scotland's spirit.
On your visit to Stirling Castle, see the magnificent Great Hall, kitchens and the Renaissance splendour of the Royal Palace. It was the childhood home of Mary, Queen of Scots.
Our extended stop in Stirling will allow a leisurely visit to the Castle or the chance to explore the neighbouring old town.
Next, we travel into the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, a beautiful area of lochs and wild mountain vistas.
Loch Lomond is the largest stretch of inland water in Britain. Sir Walter Scott called it "The Queen of all Scottish lakes" - Loch Lomond is sure to put a song in your heart!
We'll make a stop in the pretty village of Luss. Here you can simply relax and take in the wonderful loch-side views.
Alternatively, you can join an optional 90-minute cruise to get up-close views of the “bonnie, bonnie banks".
A third choice is to visit Luss Distillery, the home of Ben Lomond Gin. You can spend time in the visitor centre, or upgrade your experience with whisky and gin tastings.
On our return to Edinburgh, we will see The Kelpies, two 30-metre-high horse-head sculptures that have become an instant hit with both visitors and Scots alike. The Kelpies pay homage to the working horses that used to pull the barges on this and other canals in Scotland.
