Brace yourself for a day brimming with jaw-dropping mountain views, eerie lochs, and majestic Highland castles. This journey ventures through the storied lands of Stirlingshire, home to the legacy of the legendary William Wallace. Traverse the wilderness of Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park and dive headfirst into the untamed beauty of the West Highlands.
Our adventure starts as we leave Edinburgh and head northwest. We journey through the lands of Stirlingshire, once home to the legendary Scottish warrior, William Wallace, before arriving at Doune Castle*. The castle starred as a filming location in world-famous TV shows such as Outlander, Game of Thrones, and the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail!
Pressing on, we dive into Scotland's beloved Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. Here, nature shows off in the form of epic mountain ranges, far-reaching lochs, and historical castles seamlessly blending into the West Highlands.
We continue south to the enchanting ruins of Kilchurn Castle at Loch Awe to wander along its peaceful shores. Lunchtime awaits us in the pretty town of Inveraray, with time to explore at your own pace. Why not visit Inveraray Castle*, or if you're feeling brave, you can venture into the narrow corridors of Inveraray Jail and step into the shoes of a 19th-century prisoner. This jail is renowned as one of the world's best-preserved courtrooms and prisons!
Next on our journey is the awe-inspiring Rest and Be Thankful viewpoint, an incredibly magical picnic and beauty spot. From here, we soak up amazing views of the Arrochar Alps before heading to the final stop of our day: the village of Luss on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. Designated as a conservation village, you will find that Luss has some of the finest traditional Scottish architecture and natural features around. As our Scottish adventure draws to a close, we arrive back in Edinburgh in the evening.
*Castle updates: Inveraray Castle is closed on Tuesdays. Doune Castle is closed from 27 May until 4 June 2024 (dates inclusive), in which case we visit Linlithgow Palace instead.
