Departing from Edinburgh, this bespoke experience transports travelers in a luxurious British LEVC TXE vehicle, comfortably seating up to six guests, and guided by a professional with local expertise and a keen sense for storytelling.

The day begins at Stirling Castle, a formidable fortress perched atop volcanic rock, whose walls echo with the tales of Scottish kings and battles for independence. Stirling’s rugged ramparts offer commanding views of the surrounding lowlands, while inside, visitors wander through preserved royal chambers and discover centuries of political intrigue.
