What To Expect

Stirling Castle

your day begins with your Greenock shore excursion heading through to ‘Braveheart’ country, to visit Stirlingshire and Stirling Castle, arguably one of Scotland’s most important fortresses. Below the Castle, the Old Town of Stirling is still protected by its original walls, built in the 16th Century to protect Mary, Queen of Scots from Henry VIII. Here we will stop to enjoy time to tour the castle, learn all about the exploits of Robert the Bruce and the infamous Scottish Queen, and enjoy refreshments at the castle’s charming café.

Wonderful day with Gregor as guide. Stirling Castle lives up to hype. Drive through countryside was beautiful. Stop at Loch Lomond was too commercialized and would have preferred more natural setting for stop.
Trip Highlight!

Jerry was great. He made sure we got to Stirling Castle with enough time to view it all even though the original bus broke down. And the replacement bus arrived 1 hour later. We were given a 50% refund without even asking. Great tour operators. He made the tour very interesting.
