About

Pick up at your hotel, BnB or cruise ship port. Tour lasts approx 8 hours. Tour is customized to your needs.

Leave the city behind and explore the best of Scotland's countryside, mountains, lochs, castles and great food and drink. We can suggest an itinerary to you, but we are very flexible to make sure you get to do what you want. Our stops on the Central Highland tour can include:

  • The Kelpies statues in Falkirk.
  • Stirling Castle (see from the outside, or tour inside).
  • Loch Lubnaig.
  • Rob Roy's grave at Balquidder.
  • Lunch at a great local spot to suit your likes.
  • The Falls of Dochart in Killin.
  • Kenmore and the River Tay.
  • Standing stones.
  • A whisky distillery visit (we can skip this if you don't like whisky)

What we see depends on what you want to do, some people want to visit inside more castles, some people want to do more walks, some people just want great stops for photos but don't want to go inside castles or distilleries, some people want lots of whisky and food stops, whatever you want to do we will strive to make it happen.
