Leaving Glasgow behind, the tour takes you on a scenic drive through Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Prepare to be mesmerised by the breathtaking beauty of the UK’s largest expanse of fresh water. Admire the tranquil loch, surrounded by majestic mountains and verdant landscapes.

Discover the Majesty of Stirling Castle
Next, we will drive into Stirlingshire to visit the magnificent Stirling Castle. This historic fortress, perched high on a volcanic rock, offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Step back in time as you wander through the grand halls and beautifully preserved rooms. Immerse yourself in the stories of Scottish royalty, as this castle was the coronation site of many kings and queens, including Mary Queen of Scots.
