When you visit Scotland, there’s usually a few important things on your checklist of “must do” places to visit
Historic Castle
Highland Whisky Distillery
Walk in the dramatic Scottish Highlands
Well let’s grab a pen and mark check, check, check on that list as today will be the day you’re going to get all these wonderful Scottish bucket list items marked off that notepad
After departing Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city and one that’s full of character, a great music scene and plenty of wonderful restaurants, your guide will take you north to the historic city of Stirling. This is your chance to visit Stirling Castle, a notably prominent feature on the skyline steeped in some of the most magnificent history in the country. It’s believed to have been besieged at least 16 times and changed hands many times during the Wars of Independence. (Think Braveheart) You’ll have the “Freeeeeeedommmm” to explore the castle and could even join one of their scheduled tours led by the expert Castle guides.
Once you’ve had your fill of history, your wonderful tour guide will whisk you over to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park to experience the grand Scottish Highlands. You’ll witness the Highland boundary fault line, the area of Scotland where the Scottish Lowlands and Highlands crashed together millions of years ago. You’ll get the opportunity to get out for a lovely short walk and experience the breath-taking Highland landscape in all its glory. Your guide will fill you in on some of the wonderful history of the area, explain about the wildlife, the local culture and what makes Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park such a special place.
What a tour you’ve had so far, you’ve covered your history at Stirling, your magnificent Highlands Landscape at Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, now’s the time for the tasty part of the tour, a delicious Highland Whisky Distillery.
Your guide will take you over to Glengoyne Distillery where if you choose, you can take a tour and learn all about “uisge beatha” Gaelic for “water of life” You’ll hear about the entire whisky making process and even get to delight your taste buds with a wee dram or two
So, after having a wonderful day tour experiencing a diverse range of what Scotland has to offer, your guide will wish you farewell and take you back to Glasgow for you to continue your Great Scottish Adventure.
