Set off from Edinburgh for a captivating day exploring Scotland’s storied landscapes and iconic sights. Choose between a guided whisky distillery tour with tastings at Deanston or a visit to the dramatic Blackness Castle, famed for its fortress history and riverside views. Both options offer a unique window into Scottish heritage.

Enjoy the tranquil beauty of Loch Katrine, surrounded by lush forests and rolling hills, where you can relax by the water and soak in the scenery that inspired poets and artists. Continue through Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, a region celebrated for its wild charm and breathtaking vistas.

Along the way, you’ll have the chance to meet Scotland’s beloved Highland cattle, known as Hairy Coos, and capture memorable photos of these gentle icons. The journey also includes a stop at Loch Achray, nestled between dramatic mountain peaks, offering more opportunities to experience the serenity of the Highlands.

As you return to Edinburgh, marvel at the engineering wonder of the Forth Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, alongside its modern counterparts. Your knowledgeable driver-guide will share fascinating stories and insights throughout the tour, ensuring a rich and engaging experience from start to finish.

The tour lasts approximately 6.5 hours and is conducted in English, departing from 1759 Regent Rd, in front of the Burns Monument.
