The tour continues to Doune Castle (Castle Leoch), with optional entry. This iconic stronghold also appeared in Game of Thrones and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Passing Stirling Castle, we head to Linlithgow for lunch and an optional visit to Linlithgow Palace (Wentworth Prison), once a royal retreat.
Next, explore Blackness Castle (Fort William), nicknamed “the ship that never sailed” for its unique triangular shape. Depending on the season, visit Midhope Castle (Lallybroch) in summer for photos, or marvel at the Forth Bridges in winter, showcasing centuries of Scottish engineering.
