Description:

Scotland boasts some of the most charming villages, iconic strongholds, and picturesque landscapes in the United Kingdom. Let this full-day tour show you the glimmering waters of Loch Lomond and Loch Awe, find fascinating viewpoints of Kilchurn Castle and Stirling Castle, and explore Inverary town.

Embark on your comfortable coach and head to your first stop—Doune, home to a 14th-century castle and one of the filming locations for the TV series Game of Thrones. You can take an audio tour, explore the medieval grounds, and learn about the history of the castle and its residents.

Back on your journey, drive through the scenic Scottish Highlands, passing by shimmering lochs and verdant mountains. Make a photo stop at Kilchurn Castle, settled on the banks of Loch Awe, before arriving at one of Scotland's most picturesque towns.

At Inverary, enjoy a tour of the township and let your guide explain the history and heritage of the Duke of Argyll's ancestral home, and then take some free time to have lunch and explore at your own leisure. See Inverary Castle, visit the museum at the Georgian Inveraray Jail, or simply take a leisurely stroll.

As you head over the highlands, enjoy views of Loch Fyne and break for another fascinating photo opportunity at the top of the Rest & Be Thankful Pass. Your final stop is at the village of Luss, perched on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, before returning back to Edinburgh via Stirling for views of its iconic castle.
