Stirling Castle

As you make your way toward Stirling, hear the story of the true "Braveheart," William Wallace. Explore one of the largest and most important castles in Scotland, Stirling Castle (own expense) and enjoy incredible views from the battlements to the Wallace Monument. If you prefer, simply meander the historical streets of Stirling’s old town. Choose to explore the city of Stirling or purchase your ticket to the castle for £18.50.
Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park
3h
Travel into the heart of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and arrive at the picturesque conservation village of Luss, one of Scotland's most charming and photogenic stops. Enjoy free time to stroll along the loch shore, explore the quaint historic cottages, browse local shops, or relax over lunch surrounded by stunning Highland scenery.
Make the most of your time in Luss with one of two optional experiences available to book on the day:
Loch Lomond Circular Cruise – Take to the water on a relaxing 90-minute boat journey across Scotland's largest loch, taking in breathtaking views of mountains, islands and open water. Tickets for the cruise cost £19 for adults and £13 for children.
Distillery Experience – Visit a nearby distillery visitor centre, sample optional whisky or gin tastings, and discover the rich heritage and craft behind Scotland's most celebrated spirits. Tastings range from £15-£25 per person.
The Kelpies & The Helix
30m
On the return journey to Edinburgh, stop to admire one of Scotland's most spectacular and distinctive modern landmarks. Standing 30 metres tall, The Kelpies are the world's largest equine sculptures, crafted from gleaming steel and inspired by the mythical water horses of Scottish folklore. A celebration of both Scotland's rich industrial heritage and its ancient legends, these extraordinary structures make for one of the most striking and memorable photo opportunities of the entire trip.
