Set out from Edinburgh on a captivating small-group journey through Scotland’s West Highlands, where dramatic landscapes and legendary castles await. Travel in comfort with a knowledgeable local guide, passing through the historic lands of Stirlingshire, famed for tales of William Wallace.

Your first stop is the iconic Doune Castle, a favorite filming location for Outlander and Game of Thrones. The adventure continues into Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, where rugged mountains and shimmering lochs create a breathtaking backdrop for your exploration.

Pause at the haunting ruins of Kilchurn Castle on the shores of Loch Awe, then enjoy free time in Inveraray. Here, you can choose to visit the grand Inveraray Castle or the atmospheric Inveraray Jail, both offering a glimpse into Scotland’s rich history.

Next, take in sweeping Highland views from the Rest and Be Thankful viewpoint, where the Arrochar Alps dominate the horizon. The journey concludes in the picturesque conservation village of Luss, nestled on the tranquil banks of Loch Lomond.

This full-day tour lasts about 10 hours and includes transportation, a legendary local guide, and multilingual audio guides. Entry fees to castles and attractions, as well as food and drinks, are not included. Departures are limited, so secure your spot now and experience the magic of the Scottish Highlands.
