Overview

The Loch Lomond tour from Edinburgh has a little of everything that Scotland has to offer, from a leisurely cruise on bonnie Loch Lomond to the mountains of the ‘Highlands in miniature’ and majestic Stirling Castle.

Leaving Edinburgh, we're soon at the Kelpies, the largest equine sculptures in the world.

Our stop in Balloch is a great opportunity to enjoy the views over Loch Lomond to Ben Lomond in the distance. You can learn about the area’s lawless Vikings and feuding clans during an optional loch cruise.

Then it's onwards, further into the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty where Rob Roy MacGregor was celebrated as a hero and an outlaw. There's time for a photo or two and a lunch stop in this area.

We end our day at Stirling Castle where you can step back in time to the lavish days of Scotland’s Renaissance kings and queens.

Activity itinerary

The Kelpies & The Helix

The Kelpies are the world's largest equine sculptures in the world. At 100ft tall they are a great photo opportunity for visitors and locals alike.

Balloch

We visit the village of Balloch on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. Passengers can purchase tickets to join a 1 hour cruise on the loch, offering picturesque scenery and interesting history on the area. If you prefer to stay on dry land then, Balloch Country Park is a perfect spot to explore.

Trossachs

We follow the dramatic Duke’s Pass and deep into the Trossachs, the ‘Highlands in miniature’. Opinions differ on the meaning behind the Trossachs, but our favourite is from the Gaelic meaning ‘the bristly country’. We'll stop for a photo or two in this area, as well as a longer stop to enjoy some lunch. This landscape inspired Sir Walter Scott’s poem The Lady of the Lake and his novel Rob Roy and we think you’ll be inspired too, whether to pick up your camera or your notebook. Look out for a favourite photographic subject, our woolly, long-horned Highland cows. We call them hairy coos!

Stirling Castle

1h 30m
Admission ticket not included

Passengers have the opportunity to visit Stirling Castle (tickets not included,see tour exclusions), great royal residence of Stuart Kings and of Mary, Queen of Scots, who was declared monarch here in 1543, aged only nine months. It’s an imposing sight, perched on its crag, and you’ll have 90 minutes to explore this historic gem.
