What makes Edinburgh: West Highlands Privately Guided Day Tour in Luxury MPV a unique experience ?
Firstly, perched on Castle Hill, Stirling Castle is sure to catch your eye – if your guide doesn’t point it out first. Possibly one of Scotland’s most important castles, it’s here where Mary Queen of Scots was crowned Queen and spent most of her early childhood.
Known as The Gateway to the Highlands, Callander is the perfect place to start your West Highlands tour. Bursting with coffee shops, gifts shops – and of course a fantastic whisky shop – the first stop on this tour will get you ready for everything that’s to come.
You can also take a stroll along the River Teith which flows along the edge of the town, with spectacular views of Ben Ledi and the Craggs behind the town.
Scotland is full of breathtaking scenic drives, and Glenogle is no different. As you sit back, you’ll be spoilt for picture opportunities.
With endless rolling hills, you can imagine yourself transported back to the time of the Jacobites and Scottish rebellions.
The glen is actually known as the homeland for Rob Roy MacGregor – a famous Scottish outlaw turned folk hero between the 1600s and 1700s.
One of Scotland’s most photographed castles, you’ll no doubt have seen it before. Kilchurn Castle is a spectacular medieval ruin that sits on an ‘island’ on Loch Awe. Originally, this wasn’t an island, but actually part of the mainland before the water level dropped.
Its most famous claim to fame is during the Jacobite Rebellion when it was used as a stronghold for the English.
Leaving the castle behind, we will drive along the banks of Loch Awe on the way to our next destination.
A beautifully scenic drive, you’ll not be short of picture opportunities.
Wander through the picturesque streets of Inverary, visit the Old Sweet Shop or stop for a coffee. Overlooking the banks of Loch Fyne, the county town was originally created and planned by the Duke of Argyll in 1745.
On the edge of the town, you’ll also find Inverary Castle which is set within extensive grounds with beautiful views over towards the Loch.
Simply spectacular. There are no words that can describe the beauty of the Rest and Be Thankful, and it’s one of the most dramatic valleys you’ll ever see.
Winding through the valley, you’ll also see the old road which was used during the Jacobite times as a military route.
Picture-perfect, the village of Luss is somewhere everyone has to see when visiting Scotland. With its quaint little houses and Loch-side location, it’s one of the prettiest villages imaginable.
Walk along the pier and get your picture taken with views of Ben Lomond in the backdrop, before heading back to Edinburgh at the end of your day.
