Loch Lomond, Stirling Castle & Kelpies Tour ab Edinburgh
Beschreibung
Die Loch-Lomond-Tour ab Edinburgh hat ein bisschen von allem, was Schottland zu bieten hat, von einer gemütlichen Bootsfahrt auf dem schönen Loch Lomond bis zu den Bergen der „Highlands in Miniature“ und dem majestätischen Stirling Castle. Wir verlassen Edinburgh und erreichen bald die Kelpies, die größten Pferdeskulpturen der Welt. Unser Halt in Balloch ist eine großartige Gelegenheit, die Aussicht über Loch Lomond bis zum Ben Lomond in der Ferne zu genießen. Während einer optionalen Seerundfahrt können Sie mehr über die gesetzlosen Wikinger und verfeindeten Clans der Region erfahren. Dann geht es weiter in den Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, ein Gebiet von außergewöhnlicher natürlicher Schönheit, in dem Rob Roy MacGregor als Held und Gesetzloser gefeiert wurde. In dieser Gegend ist Zeit für ein oder zwei Fotos und eine Mittagspause. Wir beenden unseren Tag in Stirling Castle, wo Sie in die Zeit der verschwenderischen Tage der schottischen Renaissance-Könige und -Königinnen zurückversetzen können.

Reiseverlauf
Die Kelpies sind die weltweit größten Pferdeskulpturen der Welt. Mit einer Körpergröße von 100 Fuß sind sie eine großartige Fotomöglichkeit für Besucher und Einheimische.
Wir besuchen das Dorf Balloch am schönen Ufer des Loch Lomond. Passagiere können Tickets für eine 1-stündige Kreuzfahrt auf dem See kaufen, die malerische Landschaften und interessante Geschichte in der Gegend bietet. Wenn Sie lieber auf dem Trockenen bleiben möchten, ist der Balloch Country Park ein perfekter Ort zum Erkunden.
Wir folgen dem dramatischen Duke’s Pass und tief hinein in die Trossachs, die „Highlands in Miniature“. Die Meinungen über die Bedeutung hinter den Trossachs gehen auseinander, aber unser Favorit stammt aus dem Gälischen und bedeutet „das borstige Land“. In dieser Gegend halten wir für ein oder zwei Fotos sowie für einen längeren Stopp, um etwas zu Mittag zu essen. Diese Landschaft hat Sir Walter Scott zu seinem Gedicht The Lady of the Lake und seinem Roman Rob Roy inspiriert, und wir glauben, dass auch Sie inspiriert sein werden, egal ob Sie Ihre Kamera oder Ihr Notebook in die Hand nehmen. Halten Sie Ausschau nach einem beliebten Fotomotiv, unseren wolligen Highland-Kühen mit langen Hörnern. Wir nennen sie haarige Gurren!
Passagiere haben die Möglichkeit, Stirling Castle zu besuchen (Tickets nicht inbegriffen, siehe Tourausschlüsse), die große königliche Residenz der Stuart Kings und von Mary, Queen of Scots, die hier 1543 im Alter von nur neun Monaten zum Monarchen erklärt wurde. Es ist ein imposanter Anblick, der auf seinem Felsen thront, und Sie haben 90 Minuten Zeit, um dieses historische Juwel zu erkunden.

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!

We wanted to take a moment and share with you our experience for our day tour to Stirling Castle, Cameron was our guide, personal guide if you would as we were the only people on the bus. We had a PERFECT day! He shared historical facts, stories, pointed out many beautiful sites and shared his love of the countryside with us! While we know being only two people on the tour is not the norm, we appreciate that the tour was not cancelled and we were still able to see more of this beautiful country.
We’re thrilled to see that you enjoyed your tour! As a small family run business, we greatly appreciate your feedback and I know that your Tour Leader, Cameron will too. I will be sure to pass this along to them. - Discover Scotland Tours
