Itinerary

Edinburgh to Falkirk, the Kelpies

We leave Edinburgh and travel west, passing Linlithgow Palace, the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots.

On our way to Loch Lomond, we stop at the Kelpies Monument. These two magnificent horse heads stand as a testament to the horsepower that drove the industrial development of Central Scotland.

Falkirk to Balmaha, Loch Lomond

Next, we head to the shores of Loch Lomond, Scotland’s largest loch, which is protected as the country’s first National Park.

Balmaha is the perfect spot to enjoy a walk along the ‘bonny banks’ and take in fantastic views of the mountains. This tranquil area was once home to Scotland’s famous Highland folk hero, Rob Roy MacGregor. As you explore the trails by the loch, you’ll be walking in the footsteps of one of Scotland’s greatest legends.

The Trossachs, Aberfoyle for lunch, and free time in Stirling

We then enter the Trossachs, often described as ‘The Highlands in Miniature,’ where the Lowlands meet the Highlands. With steep mountains, shimmering lochs, and thick forests, this area is truly stunning.

We stop for lunch in Aberfoyle, a charming village surrounded by the beautiful landscapes that inspired Sir Walter Scott.

Next, we head to the city of Stirling, where you can visit one of Scotland’s most magnificent castles. You have the option to admire the views from outside and explore the old town, or to venture inside the castle and discover why it played such a crucial role in Scottish history.

Stirling to Edinburgh

From here, it’s a short journey back to Edinburgh, passing the Kelpies once again before arriving back in the capital.
