Description
We start our journey from Edinburgh in the morning, heading west toward Falkirk, where you’ll get to marvel at "The Kelpies," the world’s largest equine sculptures. Standing 30 metres tall and crafted from 300 tonnes of structural steel, these iconic horse heads were designed by Scottish artist Andy Scott.
Next, our adventure brings us to the scenic "Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond," where we’ll take woodland strolls and take in breathtaking views. We’ll pause in the charming village of Balmaha, with a glimpse of one of Scotland’s highest peaks, Ben Lomond, along the way.
In the afternoon, we visit Stirling Castle, one of Scotland’s most architecturally and historically significant castles, perched on Castle Hill. This castle played a key role in the Wars of Independence led by William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. After a full day of discovery, we return to Edinburgh in the early evening.
