This day trip to the Highlands will give you a
taste of what the Highlands of Scotland has to offer. From the
battlefields of Stirling where legends such as William Wallace and Robert
the Bruce made their name, to the ancient fortress of Doune Castle,
backdrop to the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Before grabbing a picnic lunch by
the stunning Falls of Dochart, we’ll travel through Rob Roy country and
tell you all about this colourful character and the eventful life he led.
After lunch we drive alongside
beautiful Loch Tay, one of the largest Loch’s in Scotland (nearly 14
miles long) and once home to ancient settlers who built wooden islands on
the loch knows as Crannogs! After a visit to see what is reputed to
be the oldest living thing on earth (a 5000 year old yew tree) and the
alleged birthplace of Pontius Pilate, it’s then off to Scotland’s
oldest Whisky Distillery, Glenturret, for a tasting. What better way
to round off a perfect day?
