Discover the rich history within the walls of the imposing Stirling Castle, one of Scotland’s most important structures both historically and architecturally. Including the impressive Great Hall, built by James 1V in 1501 to 1504, and the unmistakable grandeur of the Royal Palace, built around 1538 for James V and Mary of Guise, mother of Mary Queen of Scots, who was crowned at Stirling Castle, in 1542. Before leaving Stirling we visit the river forth where Sir William Wallace, defeated the mighty English army at Stirling Bridge in 1297. Then drive the short distance to view the impressive National Wallace Monument, completed in 1869 to commemorate Scotland’s 13th-century hero.

Leaving Stirling, behind we travel along the scenic back roads firstly to visit the impressive 14th century Doune Castle, built for the Regent Albany ‘ Scotland’s uncrowned king’. In recent times Doune Castle, was used as a film location for ” Monty Python and the Holy Grail” and has also featured heavily in the popular romantic time travel series Outlander, which doubled as castle leoch, home of Jamies uncle Colum Mackenzie and his clan. Next we continue through the stunning Trossachs National Park, passing quaint villages before arriving at the ” Bonnie” banks of Loch Lomond, Scotland’s largest inland fresh-water loch. Here we spend time to take in the spectacular mountain vistas and the many small islands ( knowing as Inchs) that are located on the loch, around 39 in total. You will also learn the true meaning of the romantic highland song ” you take the high road and i’ll take the low road” and the tragic story of the highland Jacobite, who would never meet his loved one again on the ” Bonnie Bonnie” banks of Loch Lomond. Leaving the shores of Loch Lomond behind, we make the short 30 min drive to the picture-postcard whisky distillery at Glengoyne, where you can enjoy an in-depth tour and a welcoming dram of Glengoyne’s 12 yr old single malt. After your tour we make our way back to your accommodation, and sadly say our fair wells.

About About Scotland

My name is Ricky Henderson, a proud native Scot, born and bred in the west end of Glasgow. When I set up About Scotland Tours in 2010, it was with the sole purpose of providing our guests with a more flexible, relaxed and fun experience. We do not stick to rigid timetables like large coach tours, which gives our guests more time to explore Scotland’s historic castles, ancient neolithic sights and wee hidden gems.

For as long as I can remember ( around 30 years or so ) I have had a real passion for my country Scotland, learning our diverse cultures, ancient history and exploring the natural beauty of our spectacular landscapes and rugged mountain glens. I want to share it with you and introduce you to the very best of Scotland, you wouldn’t get to see with rigid bus tours. Read More...
