West Highlands, Lochs and Castles Small-Group Day Tour from Edinburgh

Summary Description

Your tour begins with pickup from a central Edinburgh departure point. Board a top of the range, 16-seat Mercedes mini-coach destined for Scotland’s West Highlands. Stop first at Stirling to visit Doune Castle—the film site of Monty Python and The Holy Grail.

As your mini-coach traverses dense forests and rolling hills, your guide provides commentary that details Scottish legends such as William Wallace and Rob Roy MacGregor, the Scottish equivalent of Robin Hood.

See the scenic areas of Luss, Loch Lomond, and The Trossachs National Park before heading to Inveraray where you have the option to visit the castle (open April - October) or wander around the town and have lunch.

This guided tour concludes with drop-off at your original Edinburgh departure point.
