“Great Tour! Thank you Euan! - I booked a solo trip via Viator for Speyside Whisky Tour. Euan was very prompt in responding via Whatsapp during the planning stage of this trip. I wasn’t sure how to plan the trip and he inquired what I was most interested in seeing and curated a 3 distillery trip.”
The tour is a perfect escape from the cold, offering not just warmth but a taste of Scotland’s rich heritage. As the day unfolds, the warmth of the whisky and the stories shared will linger, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Discovering the Heart of Scotland
For those who seek a deeper connection with Scotland’s history, the Stirling and Falkirk Tour offers a journey through time. Available from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, this luxury private tour takes you to Stirling Castle, the Wallace Monument, and the engineering marvel of the Falkirk Wheel. Each stop is a chapter in Scotland’s storied past, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who shaped the nation.
Stirling Castle stands as a testament to Scotland’s grand history, its imposing architecture a reminder of the battles fought and won. The Wallace Monument, perched high above the fields, tells the tale of a hero whose spirit still inspires. As you explore these landmarks, the stories of bravery and resilience come alive, painting a vivid picture of a bygone era.
“Adventure before Dementia - Climbing 246 steps to the top of Wallace’s monument was a very special achievement and the view was spectacular. The Falkirk wheel was an amazing feat of engineering which we appreciated and the Kelpies were incredible.”
This tour is more than just a journey through history; it’s an invitation to step back in time and experience the spirit of Scotland in its purest form.
