Tour 2 - Stirling Castle, Highland lochs & whisky
11th July 2026 - This is one of our longest-running day tours and is a fantastic mix of history, scenery and whisky...always a popular combination!
One of our shorter trips (with plenty of time off the bus) the day begins at Stirling Castle, one of the country's most popular tourist attractions. The Stirling area is absolutely packed with history and your driver/guide will tell you all about the many characters associated with this part of the world and whose names still resonate through time - William Wallace, King Robert the Bruce, Mary Queen of Scots and James VI to name but a few.
We travel through the beautiful Southern Highlands past lochs and mountains and admire the scenery of our first national park - Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. Loch Lomond itself is an iconic part of Scotland, the 'bonnie bonnie banks' popular with tourists and locals alike. This is Rob Roy country, popularised by Sir Walter Scott’s books and poems. Legends and superstition of faeries or ‘wee people’ abound in these hills…
We finish the day at Glengoyne Distillery, situated in a wooded valley in the southern Highlands. The distillery, which takes its name from ‘Glen Guin’ or Glen of the Wild Geese, has been producing a high quality single malt for nearly 200 years.
