- Forth Bridge - Departing from Edinburgh, travelers will be greeted by the sight of Scotland’s most remarkable engineering feat, the Forth Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This 19th-century marvel was once the world’s longest cantilever bridge. Today, it stands alongside the 20th-century Forth Road Bridge and the 21st-century Queensferry Crossing, which opened in 2017. These three magnificent bridges, each from a different century, span the Firth of Forth, linking the capital city with the Kingdom of Fife.
- National Wallace Monument - The journey continues to Stirling, where visitors can explore the Wallace Monument, a towering homage to one of Scotland’s greatest heroes, Sir William Wallace. This impressive structure sits atop Abbey Craig, offering stunning views of the surrounding area. Discover Wallace’s significant role in Scotland’s history and perhaps climb the 246 steps to the top for panoramic views of Stirling and beyond! Alternatively, wander through the ancient woodlands of Abbey Craig or enjoy a warm beverage.
- Stirling Castle - The tour proceeds to a viewpoint of Stirling Castle, one of Scotland’s most significant and majestic castles. Situated on a volcanic crag, the castle is rich in history, having been the site of many pivotal events in Scottish history, including battles and royal intrigue.
- Callander - The tour heads to the charming town of Callander, often regarded as the gateway to the Scottish Highlands. Located on the banks of the River Teith, this quaint town is surrounded by rolling hills and picturesque landscapes. It’s an ideal spot for a leisurely walk or a meal.
- Loch Katrine - The journey continues deeper into the Trossachs to Loch Katrine, a breathtaking freshwater loch. Renowned for its serene beauty, Loch Katrine was immortalized in Sir Walter Scott’s famous poem, The Lady of the Lake. Enjoy the stunning Scottish landscape and relax by the tranquil waters, encircled by forests and mountains.
- Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park - Nearby, within the Trossachs National Park, a brief stop is made at Loch Achray, a smaller yet equally beautiful loch nestled between the majestic Ben A’an and Ben Venue mountains. The area around the loch is calm and peaceful, providing another opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the Scottish Highlands – and with some luck, spot some beloved Highland Cows!
