Activity itinerary

The Kelpies & The Helix
  • 30m
We will walk among giants as we get up close to the magnificent Kelpies. Enjoy the old Scottish stories of these mythical creatures and visit the area where the Gentle Giants worked on the land. The Kelpies are based on a Scottish Folktale, told to keep young children away from any dangerous water edge but they are also a tribute to the Clydesdale horses that worked in 3 industries that are prevalent in this area. The 98 foot high statues are a fitting tribute to the "Gentle Giants" and the detail can only be appreciated when you walk right up to them. There is a visitor centre where the guests can pick up souvenirs and stop for a comfort break.
The Battle of Bannockburn Visitor Centre
  • 30m
We will walk on the battlefield of one of Scotland's most famous battles as we explore the storey of Robert The Bruce and his incredible victory at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Stand at the site of the famous battle and transport yourself back to the times of great war lords and bloody battles.
Stirling Castle
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Stirling castle is considered by most historians to be the most important and historically significant castle in Scotland. This stop will allow out guests to explore the castle and it's magnificent palace. The stories of the castle are older than the castle itself as it changed hands 8 times between the Scots and The English during 400+ years of battles for Scottish independence. There is a free guided tour in the castle as part of the admission cost but when possible the guide will accompany the guests into the castle. This is dependant on available parking. Either way the guests will be able to explore the castle for 90 minutes or so.
Kilmahog Woollen Mill
  • 20m
Kilmahog is the home of 3 of Scotland's most famous Highland Cow's or Hairy Coo's as the locals call them. The guests will be invited to feed the cows and those brave enough may even go for a "wee kiss". There is a visitor shop with lots of Scottish souvenirs and rest rooms if needed.
The Lade Inn
  • 1h 30m
The Lade Inn is a lovely little country pub set in the heart of the Scottish countryside. This is where we wills stop for lunch and enjoy some traditional Scottish food and possibly some locally crafted ales
Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park (Pass by)
After lunch we will enjoy a scenic drive through the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park as we gradually make our way back to our pick up location. Please note we are not planning to stop at Loch Lomond.
