What you can expect

Legends, landscapes, and history collide on this epic day tour! Marvel at the towering Kelpies, admire Loch Lomond’s breathtaking beauty, and explore the historic streets of Stirling, home to one of Scotland’s most important castles.

We begin with a visit to The Kelpies, the world’s largest equine sculptures. Towering 30 meters high, these mythical beasts celebrate Scotland’s horse-powered heritage and the folklore of water spirits said to have the strength of 100 horses.

Next, we journey to the Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond, stopping at Balmaha for breathtaking views of Ben Lomond. Take a woodland walk for stunning panoramas or simply soak up the beauty of Scotland’s largest loch, immortalised in song.

Our final stop is Stirling, home to one of Scotland’s most historically significant castles. Explore the mighty Stirling Castle, where Mary, Queen of Scots was crowned, or wander through this fascinating town, central to Scotland’s fight for independence.

As the day draws to a close, we return to Edinburgh, filled with incredible stories and memories of Scotland’s past and present.
