Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond and Whisky

As you drive northeast from Edinburgh, you'll marvel at the engineering feat of The Kelpies, two 30-meter-tall horse-head sculptures. Then, as you travel through Stirlingshire, our guide will bring to life the turbulent times of William Wallace—dramatized in the film Braveheart—and explain his connection to the countryside you're passing through. We'll stop in the beautiful city of Stirling for about two hours. This gives you plenty of time to explore the stunning castle* or stroll the beautiful old streets that surround it. You'll experience spectacular views of Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park, home of the Highland outlaw Rob Roy. We visit the pretty lochside village of Balmaha, where you can take a short but steep walk to Craigie Fort for stunning views of the loch, or you can enjoy the beautiful shores on flat ground. Our final stop will be at one of Scotland's fantastic distilleries, Auchentoshan*. Here you can learn the process of how they create the perfect drink and even sample some! Before we head back to Edinburgh.
