Our adventure begins in Queensferry, where you'll witness the awe-inspiring Forth Bridge. This Victorian engineering masterpiece truly represents Scotland's pioneering spirit and remarkable industrial heritage.
From there, we proceed to the ancient town of Stirling, where Stirling Castle stands as a witness to historic battles fought during the wars of independence. Then onto the Old Stirling Bridge, the site William Wallace's renowned battle where we contemplate the significance of this moment in history. We then explore the grounds of the Church of the Holy Rood in Stirling, where we contemplate the coronation of James VI, an event that forever shaped the church and Scottish history.
After exploring Stirling, we indulge in a traditional Scottish take-away lunch at the award-winning bakery Mhor Bread. We continue our journey to the Falls of Dochart, taking a moment to soak in the beauty of the scene. Nearby, a traditional pub provides a perfect setting to relax for a moment.
We continue our journey along remote roads, ascending through the rugged Lawers Range, keeping an eye out for roaming red deer across the wild heather-clad moorlands. Our journey leads us to the breathtaking Glen Lyon, praised by Sir Walter Scott as Scotland's “longest, loveliest, and loneliest glen.” Here, we uncover remnants of Neolithic civilization including stone circles and the ancient remains of the Fortingall Yew in a local churchyard, believed to be Britain's oldest tree. We also pause at a serene waterfall and take a leisurely stroll through ancient birch woods for panoramic vistas to Glen Lyon. As our highland journey concludes, we make our way back to Edinburgh, via the beautiful valleys of the 'Sma Glen and Glen Quaich,'.
