From Edinburgh: Argyll, Castles & West Highlands Day Tour
Overview
Epic mountains, mystical lochs, and castles straight out of a legend - aye, this small-group tour is a cracker!
We’re off on a wild ride through Stirlingshire, where the mighty William Wallace made his mark on history (think Braveheart, but real). Then, it’s time to lose yourself in the rugged beauty of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, where towering peaks, shimmering lochs, and untamed wilderness are just part of the everyday scenery.
And the West Highlands? Pure magic. Think misty glens, ancient castles, and landscapes so dramatic they deserve their own film score. This is Scotland at its most breathtaking, so get ready to soak it all in!
