From Edinburgh, Loch Lomond, Kelpies & Stirling Castle Tour

Stirling Castle, Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Rabbie\'s Small Group Tours

Embark on a day trip to explore the scenic landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, including lush forests, picturesque lochs, and awe-inspiring mountain vistas. Delve into Scotland’s rich historical heritage by visiting iconic landmarks such as Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond, and the awe-inspiring Kelpies.



After departing Edinburgh, travelers proceed through the historical charm of Linlithgowshire. A knowledgeable guide leads them towards Linlithgow Palace, the ancestral home of Mary Queen of Scots.

As they near Loch Lomond, visitors pause to admire the iconic Kelpies Monument, a pair of horse heads symbolizing the pivotal role of horsepower in shaping Central Scotland's industrial heritage.

Continuing their journey, they arrive at Loch Lomond, Scotland’s largest lake, now preserved within the country's first National Park. This serene locale offers an ideal opportunity for leisurely walks along its picturesque "bonnie banks," offering breathtaking vistas of the surrounding mountainous landscapes.

Adjacent to Loch Lomond lies the heart of Scotland's High Adventure Trail, known locally as the "Trossachs" or "The Highlands in Miniature." Here, steep mountains, reflective lochs, and dense forests create a stunning natural wonder.

For lunch, travelers immerse themselves in the tranquility of the National Park's heart, before embarking on further exploration. Their next destination is the City of Stirling, where they have the option to ascend to the Castle of Stirling, one of Scotland's most majestic fortresses. Inside the castle walls, guests gain insight into its significance in Scottish history.

Their final leg of the tour includes a brief return trip past the Kelpies monument, culminating with a smooth arrival back in Edinburgh.
