Castles, Lakes & Whisky
Stirling and Doune Castle, the Trossachs, Loch Lomond & Glengoyne Distillery
- Explore Scotland's finest, historically most important castle
- 14th century Doune Castle - majestic and well preserved
- Sail on the elegant Victorian steamship SS Walter Scott
- Visit the Trossachs, Loch Katrine and Loch Lomond
Stirling Castle - a stunning location where some of the most dramatic developments in Scottish history took place: the famous and triumphant battles of William Wallace 'Braveheart' and Robert the Bruce and the coronation of Mary Queen of Scots.
The lush and dense Trossachs forests, dotted with picturesque lakes, were the home of Scotland's famous Rob Roy who roamed the area to steal from the rich and provide for the poor. Loch Katrine, the biggest of the Trossachs lakes, is set amidst rugged hills and features as the romantic backdrop in Walter Scott's 19th century legends and poems.
A cruise on the Victorian steamship SS Walter Scott (optional, 45 minutes) is followed by a visit to the picturesque village of Balmaha at the shores of Loch Lomond.
Glengoyne Whisky Distillery is the grand finale of the day: one of Scoland's oldest makers of this very special honey coloured water offer an optional tour and a 'wee dram' for you to remember.
Prices include minibus travel, guide, and picnic lunch

Inveraray, pre-historic Kilmartin Valley, the West Coast
- Visit the magnificent castle of the chiefs of the Campbell Clan
- Explore 5000 year old stone circles & burial sites at Kilmartin and
- Scotland's island dotted West Coast & old Crinan Harbour
Highland scenery at its best: we drive along the high road and the bonny banks of this largest of freshwater stretches in Britian enjoying wide views across to the grandiose heights of Ben Lomond, the most southerly of the 'Munroes'.
From Tarbert the route takes us the short distance of 2 miles to the sea (which is where the Vikings hauled there longboats across to roam Loch Lomond) along the shores of Loch Long, the mountainous pass of 'Rest and be Thankful' and the banks of Loch Fyne, famous for its oysters. This tour is a revelation of the inaccessible and rugged terrain typical of the Highlands.
Inveraray - the magnificent 18th century Inverary Castle of the Duke of Argyll is a masterpiece of Scottish Georgian Architecture which is splendidly furnished and contains an interesting selection of trophies, memorabilia, documents and weaponry - and an excellent insight into Scottish history.
The Prehistoric centre of the region is Kilmartin Glen which, apart from its outstanding beauty is one of the richest archaeological landscapes in Scotland: neolithic standing stones, burial cairns, rock art, forts, duns and carved stones. Amoungst these is Dunadd Fort which is likely to have been a royal centre where Scotland's earliest kings were inaugurated.
A brief visit to Crinan with its 18th century harbour and canal is a gloriously beautiful spot from which to admire the intricate western coastline of Scotland.
