Description

Leave Glasgow and travel north through the gentle countryside to Stirling, following in the footsteps of ancient invading armies. This land was the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire and was under attack during the Wars of Scottish Independence. As you approach Stirling, spot the magnificent castle. Perched on the high volcanic rock, this stronghold is known as the ‘Key to Scotland', and it's witnessed battles that were turning points in Scottish history. Learn about its past and discover the secrets of the royal court when you visit. Next, travel into the Highlands to an area known as Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park. This land is full of shimmering lochs, rugged mountain tops, and forest-filled glens. And it used to be a perfect place for outlaws like Rob Roy to hide. Hear the tale of this fascinating folk hero and enjoy the magnificent nature all around you before you stop for lunch in picturesque Aberfoyle. Afterward, continue to the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, framed by majestic mountains and dotted with over 30 islands. Join an hour-long cruise here to admire the loch from a different angle and to hear stories of local wildlife or enjoy discovering the area on foot. Back on dry land, cast a last glance at the loch and the national park before you start your return journey to Glasgow.
