Stirling Castle
Stirling Castle & Best of the Trossachs – One day tours of Scotland
Visit stunning Stirling Castle and the Trossachs.
One of our most popular one day tours of Scotland. This tour takes in the town of Aberfoyle at the eastern edge of the Loch Lomond national park. From there we take the road over the Dukes Pass toward Loch Katrine. Renowned as one of Britain’s best drives this scenic route takes you through some of the most remarkable landscapes of the Trossachs. Named after the Duke of Montrose, this road was originally built as an access route to the Duke’s land. It was later improved to accommodate the tourists who were drawn to the area during Victorian times following the publication of Sir Walter Scott’s epic poem ‘The Lady of the Lake’.
Heading east from Loch Katrine we pass through Callander and then make our way to Stirling Castle. Stirling Castle is a great symbol of the Scottish wars of independence and a source of national pride. The Castle’s long, turbulent history is associated with great figures from Scotland’s past such as William Wallace and Mary Queen of Scots. The renaissance palace within the castle itself was built for King James V and his second queen, Mary of Guise. It is one of the most remarkable and complete Renaissance buildings in Britain. As well as a regimental museum and palace gardens there is a huge collection of renaissance artefacts, as well as palace rooms and halls which have played host to royalty and nobility down through the centuries.
Glengoyne Distillery
A Wee Dram or Two of Whisky – One day tours of Scotland
