Tour Highlights
Highland Village of Luss, 11th Century Viking Graves, Loch Lomond, Cruise on Loch, The Trossachs, Hamish the Hairy Coo and Stirling Castle
A favourite day tour, Loch Lomond is an area renowned for its beauty and tranquillity that offers picture postcard views at every corner. Loch Lomond must be the worlds most famous Loch and has been written about, both in song and verse.
We start our tour from Glasgow heading north to Loch Lomond, the largest freshwater Loch in the UK. Our first stop is the picturesque village of Luss, where you can stroll along the shores of Loch Lomond, take a look around Luss Parish Church and see the 11th century Viking graves that lie in the churchyard. From Luss we make the short drive to Balloch where you can enjoy an optional cruise of the southern end of the Loch.
After the cruise we continue our journey through Rob Roy MacGregor country and the Trossachs. The Trossachs are often regarded as the 'Highlands in miniature'. Here the contrast between Highlands and Lowlands is stark as you leave the pretty village of Aberfoyle to climb up through the dramatic Duke's Pass and by Lochs Drunkie, Achray and Vennacher to Kilmahog where we will stop for Lunch.
After lunch we will stop by and see our old friend Hamish the Hairy Coo. From here we make our way through Callander passing Doune Castle the location for Monty Python and the Holy Grail on route to Stirling Castle. Known as the “key to Scotland”, it's location even rivals Edinburgh Castle for sheer magnificence as it sits high on a Volcanic crag which makes it visible for miles around.
There is enough time for a leisurely visit to the Castle where you can hear the key moments of the history of Scotland and of the battles of Scotland's past, including Stirling Bridge where William Wallace defeated the English in 1297, and Bannockburn where Robert the Bruce did the same in 1314.
