About
Epic mountains, mystical lochs, and castles straight out of a legend - aye, this small-group tour is a cracker!
We’re off on a wild ride through Stirlingshire, where the mighty William Wallace made his mark on history (think Braveheart, but real). Then, it’s time to lose yourself in the rugged beauty of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, where towering peaks, shimmering lochs, and untamed wilderness are just part of the everyday scenery.
And the West Highlands? Pure magic. Think misty glens, ancient castles, and landscapes so dramatic they deserve their own film score. This is Scotland at its most breathtaking, so get ready to soak it all in!

Doune Castle
We depart Edinburgh and make our way to Doune Castle, otherwise known as Castle Leoch in the Outlander series or Winterfell in Game of Thrones. In real life, Doune Castle is a purpose-built 14th century military stronghold, and an impressive example of medieval Scottish architecture. Optional add-on, £10.50pp. Tickets available to purchase at tour check-in.

Tyndrum
We then make our way to the charming village of Tyndrum, which lies at the southern edge of Rannoch Moor.
15 minutes

Kilchurn Castle
Marvel at the imposing ruins of Kilchurn Castle. Known originally as the stronghold of Clan Campbell, today the castle sits peacefully by Loch Awe and is the perfect spot to pause and snap a few pics.

Inveraray
Inveraray is perhaps best-known for Inveraray Jail, a former prison that is now a tourist attraction. Choose to take part in an optional tour there, and make the most of your lunch break by visiting the charming village itself which boasts gorgeous views of Loch Fyne.
