Full Tour Itinerary
Your Loch Lomond adventure begins in Glasgow, heading north through the scenic Campsie Fells before reaching the shimmering waters of Loch Lomond, Scotland’s largest and one of its most beautiful lochs.
Here, you can choose to take a leisurely one-hour cruise (optional) to admire the loch’s many islands and the surrounding mountains, or stay on shore at Loch Lomond Shores, where spectacular views, cafés, restaurants, and boutique shopping await.
Leaving Loch Lomond, we journey to the quaint village of Aberfoyle, then traverse the scenic Highland road known as Dukes Pass, once the territory of legendary folk hero Rob Roy MacGregor.
Our route takes us through the charming town of Callander to the historic Stirling Castle. You can choose to explore the castle’s interior or enjoy a leisurely stroll around the city centre. Discover its pivotal role in history, from the Wars of Independence with figures like William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, to Mary Queen of Scots, crowned here in 1543 at just nine months old.
After our visit to Stirling we make the short journey back to Glasgow.
