A perfect wee taster of Scotland - this tour mixes up the world’s largest horse sculptures “The Kelpies”, the seriously stunning beauty of Loch Lomond (the biggest loch or lake in the whole of Britain and inspiration to poets and painters) and The Trossachs National Park with the savage history of Stirling Castle where kings were murdered, and rebellions started. If you're after a Kelpies tour from Edinburgh that also crams in lochs, legends, and a good bit of chaos from Scotland’s past – you’re in the right place.
