About

Some times fact is more interesting than fiction. On this tour we will walk in the footsteps of William Wallace and Robert The Bruce and discover the reality behind Braveheart and The Outlaw King. We will visit the battlefields and manage our own troops to see if we can defeat the English invaders. We will follow Claire Fraser back in time to the Jacobite rebellion and get a feeling of what life was like in those times. We will visit the resting place of Rob Roy through some fantastic scenery.

From your pick up point we will start our day by heading to Blackness Castle just outside the town of Bo’ness. From bo’ness it is a short drive into Linlithgow to visit the palace, birth place of Mary Queen of Scots and our second filming location for Outlander, from here we will head into Stirling to the Wallace (Braveheart) monument looking down toward the scene for the actual battle of Stirling Bridge, staying in the Stirling area we will drive to the Bannockburn Centre where we can take part in a battle simulation where we make the decisions to see if we can follow in Bruce’s (The Outlaw King) footsteps winning a famous victory over the English armies in 1314.

We will head out of Stirling towards Doune Castle the setting for Multiple TV and Movie scenes. The castle has been used for Monty Python, Game of Thrones and Outlander. Moving on from Doune we will head through Callander and out to Balquhidder, the resting place of Rob Roy McGregor before returning to our pick up point or other selected final destination. There are many points of interest on the route of this tour and we should have time to take in some of the fantastic scenery we will be passing through.
