Edinburgh: Private Stirling Castle & Loch Lomond Day Tour｜United Kingdom

Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel, ship, or Airbnb in Edinburgh. Sit back and relax in a luxury Mercedes vehicle as you make your way to Stirling Castle.

Upon arrival, be met with costumed characters who will transport you back to 16th-century life, showing you Mary’s childhood home and how the castle would have looked at that time.

Learn about the significance of Stirling Castle in Mary Stewart’s history. Aged just nine months, Mary was crowned Queen of Scots. The ceremony was conducted in September 1543 in the Chapel Royal of Stirling Castle, and was the first time the Honours of Scotland were used.

Next, head to Callander, a picturesque tourist town known as The Gateway to the Highlands. Explore its charming streets, filled with coffee shops, gift shops, and a fantastic whisky shop. Take a stroll along the River Teith, with spectacular views of Ben Ledi and the Craggs behind the town.

Continue your journey through the winding hills of the Trossachs, taking in the breathtaking scenery along Dukes Pass. Stop in Aberfoyle, a picturesque village on the banks of the River Forth in the beautiful Queen Elizabeth Forest Park.

Next, visit the picture-perfect village of Luss, with its quaint little houses and Loch-side location. Walk along the pier and get your picture taken with views of Ben Lomond in the backdrop.

Finally, make your way to Balmaha, one of the best places to marvel at the waters of Loch Lomond. Enjoy the stunning views before heading back to Edinburgh, where your tour concludes with a drop-off at your hotel, ship, or Airbnb.
