Loch Lomond, Stirling Castle og Kelpies Tour fra Edinburgh
Beskrivelse
Loch Lomond-turen fra Edinburgh har lidt af alt, hvad Skotland har at byde på, fra et afslappet krydstogt på Bonnie Loch Lomond til bjergene i 'Highlands in miniature' og det majestætiske Stirling Castle. Når vi forlader Edinburgh, er vi snart ved Kelpies, de største hesteskulpturer i verden. Vores stop i Balloch er en fantastisk mulighed for at nyde udsigten over Loch Lomond til Ben Lomond i det fjerne. Du kan lære om områdets lovløse vikinger og stridende klaner under et valgfrit søkrydstogt. Så er det videre, længere ind i Loch Lomond og The Trossachs National Park, et område med enestående naturlig skønhed, hvor Rob Roy MacGregor blev fejret som en helt og en fredløs. Der er tid til et billede eller to og et frokoststop i dette område. Vi slutter vores dag på Stirling Castle, hvor du kan træde tilbage i tiden til de overdådige dage med Skotlands renæssancekonger og -dronninger.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Kelpies er verdens største hesteskulpturer i verden. Med en højde på 100 fod er de en fantastisk fotomulighed for både besøgende og lokale.
Vi besøger landsbyen Balloch på Loch Lomonds bonnie-banker. Passagerer kan købe billetter til et 1 times krydstogt på søen, der byder på malerisk natur og interessant historie i området. Hvis du foretrækker at blive på tørt land, er Balloch Country Park et perfekt sted at udforske.
Vi følger det dramatiske Duke's Pass og dybt ind i Trossachs, 'Highlands in miniature'. Der er forskellige meninger om betydningen bag Trossachs, men vores favorit er fra den gæliske, der betyder 'det strittende land'. Vi stopper for et billede eller to i dette område, samt et længere stop for at nyde noget frokost. Dette landskab inspirerede Sir Walter Scotts digt The Lady of the Lake og hans roman Rob Roy, og vi tror, du også vil blive inspireret, uanset om du vil tage dit kamera eller din notesbog op. Hold øje med et yndlingsfotografisk motiv, vores uldne, langhornede højlandskøer. Vi kalder dem behårede coos!
Passagerer har mulighed for at besøge Stirling Castle (billetter ikke inkluderet, se udelukkelser fra tur), store kongelige residens for Stuart Kings og Mary, Queen of Scots, som blev erklæret monark her i 1543, kun ni måneder gammel. Det er et imponerende syn, der ligger på dens klippehøjde, og du har 90 minutter til at udforske denne historiske perle.

We had a great time with our guide, Dougie! Our group of 7 were the only ones on the tour. Dougie heard we had already been in Scotland for 2 weeks, so he made a point of trying to tell us interesting stories and info we hadn't heard previously. First we visited the Kelpies, and then we took a boat tour on Loch Lomond. We stopped in Aberfoyle for lunch, then got a chance to feed Highland cows. Next we visited Stirling Castle, and Dougie took photos of our group. We drove on scenic roads through the Trossachs National Park, and made an extra stop in South Queensbury to get shots of the Forth bridges. Because we were the only ones on the tour, Dougie was able to drop us off at our hotel rather than back at the start, so he saved us time and paying for a taxi. We appreciated that a lot!
Kyle our driver tour guide was outstanding. He shared not only history but also included less known stories. He was humorous, thoughtful and clearly enjoyed working with tourists
