From Edinburgh: Loch Lomond & the West Highlands
Central Scotland, ScotlandWe depart Edinburgh city centre at 8:00am and head towards the west of Scotland including Argyll, Loch Lomond, Inveraray and more. Our first stop of the day is Doune Castle where you have the option of exploring Doune Castle, widely recognised from the famous TV series "Outlander". From Doune we make our way to Tyndrum for a comfort break. We visit the impressive ruins of Kilchurn Castle. Once home to the Campbells of Glenorchy, Kilchurn Castle overlooks the peaceful Loch Awe and has a rich history connected to the Jacobite rebellion. Our next stop of the day takes us to Inveraray where we stop at the beautiful Loch Fyne for lunch, before an optional visit to Inveraray Jail, one of the best-reserved prisons in Britain.
In the afternoon we begin our journey back to Edinburgh, making a quick stop at the aptly named "Rest and Be Thankful" where we do exactly that. Take in the amazing views before continuing east. Our final stop of the day is in Luss where you will feel as if you have been transported back in time. Breathe in the west highland air one last time before we return back to Edinburgh.
