10 hours
The tour price includes the services of a friendly, knowledgeable and experienced driver-guide and transportation on one of our luxury, modern, air-conditioned coaches.
On this incredible tour, we explore the beautiful Scottish Highlands seeing castles, lochs, sculptures and perhaps some ‘Hairy Coos’ along the way.
Departing Edinburgh on an air-conditioned bus (16-34 seats) we head towards the iconic Kelpies, where you can take a close up look at these magnificent sculptures.
We make our way towards Balloch, situated to the south of Loch Lomond’s Bonnie Banks. Here you can explore and take an optional hour-long boat cruise on the loch.
Departing Loch Lomond we head towards the quaint village of Aberfoyle before exploring the picturesque Duke's Pass.
Passing through Callander we make our way to Stirling where you can either take a stroll around the city centre or visit the historic Stirling Castle.
Heading back we stop to catch a glimpse of the famous 3 bridges that span the River Forth before returning to Edinburgh
*Boat cruise and entry to Stirling Castle are paid for on the day and are not included in the price of the tour.
