Embark on an epic small-group tour from Edinburgh to the wild northwest of Scotland. Travel through the legendary lands of Stirlingshire, see the ruins of Kilchurn Castle, and stop at the postcard-perfect village of Luss.
Begin your adventure as you roll out of Edinburgh, bound for the wild northwest. Travel through the legendary lands of Stirlingshire, home to Scotland’s ultimate warrior, William Wallace, before pulling up at Doune Castle*. If it looks familiar, that’s because it’s been a star in Outlander, Game of Thrones, and the cult classic Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Dive straight into the breathtaking landscapes of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, where rugged mountains, shimmering lochs, and historic castles paint a scene straight out of a fantasy novel. Then it’s south to the hauntingly beautiful ruins of Kilchurn Castle, standing proud on the shores of Loch Awe which is a perfect spot to stretch your legs and soak in the serenity.
Lunchtime calls in the charming town of Inveraray, where you’ve got free time to explore. Fancy a peek inside the grand Inveraray Castle*? It’s open Thursday to Monday. Or, if you’re up for a spine-tingling experience, head to Inveraray Jail, one of the best-preserved historic prisons in the world. Step inside, if you dare!
Continue to the legendary Rest and Be Thankful viewpoint, where jaw-dropping Highland panoramas demand your attention. Here, the mighty Arrochar Alps steal the show, offering the perfect backdrop for a Highland-style breather.
The final stop is the postcard-perfect village of Luss, nestled on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. As a conservation village, it’s bursting with traditional Scottish charm, quaint cottages, tranquil shores, and scenery that’ll have your camera working overtime.
*Winter itinerary update: Doune Castle will be a photo stop only until 31 March 2027, with an extended visit to Kilchurn Castle and an additional stop at The Kelpies, the world's largest equine sculpture. Inveraray Castle is closed for the winter season from 27 October 2026 until late March 2027. Entry to Inveraray Castle is not available during this period.
