Day Tour from Glasgow – Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond and Whiskey Distillery Itinerary.

Discover the rich history within the walls of the imposing Stirling Castle, one of Scotland’s most important structures both historically and architecturally. Marvel at the impressive Great Hall which was built by James IV in 1501 to 1504. You will be amazed at the unmistakable grandeur of the Royal Palace. This was 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. We 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 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”. It has also featured heavily in the popular romantic time travel series Outlander. In the series it was Castle Leoch, home of Jamie’s uncle Colum Mackenzie and his clan.

Next on our day tour, we continue through the stunning Trossachs National Park. We will pass quaint villages before arriving at the ” Bonnie” banks of Loch Lomond. Loch Lomond is 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. You will also learn the true meaning of the romantic highland song ” you take the high road and I’ll take the low road”. 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 minutes drive to the picture-postcard whiskey distillery at Glengoyne. Here you can enjoy an in-depth tour and a welcoming dram of Glengoyne’s 12 yr old single malt whiskey. After your tour we make our way back to your accommodation where we sadly say our farewells.
