What To Expect
Balquhidder
After departing Edinburgh you’ll head north through the central belt of the country. Your guide will entertain by laying the foundations of many a story about Scotland’s past heroes like William Wallace and Robert the Bruce who made this area of Scotland their own. You will spot royal palaces, giant mythical Kelpies and the ancient stronghold of Stirling Castle. Arriving at our first stop of the day, surrounded by the verdant hills of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National park. Stretch your legs, enjoy a coffee or some baked goods and refresh before rejoining the bus to continue north. Please note, during the winter season we stop at Callander instead of Balquehidder.
Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park
As we travel through the ‘Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park’ our bus weaves through hills, mountains and Glens. These remote places were once inhabited by Highland Clans, not to mention Scotland’s most famous outlaw, Rob Roy MacGregor, whom some consider The Scottish Robin Hood. Look out across the landscape and picture what it was like as you hear the remarkable bloodthirsty stories of betrayal and revenge as told by your guide. If we happen to spot some of our famous ‘Hairy Highland Coos’, we might stop for a selfie.

5.00Ross and Laura (the bus) were a great pair! Ross was quite informative and was able to keep the group engaged with his tips and tales of Scottish history. He ensured everyone was on the bus before leaving and made sure to give us time to take photos and just appreciative Scotland's natural beauty. Make sure to bring a jacket or windbreaker as it can get cold especially in the Glenfinnan viaduct area!!
