Excursión en grupo pequeño a Highland Lochs, Glens & Castles desde Edimburgo
Descripción
En nuestro tour de Highland Lochs, Glens & Castles desde Edimburgo, lo llevaremos a algunos de los mejores paisajes que Escocia tiene para ofrecer. Majestuosas montañas caen hasta relucientes lagos y castillos, mientras que las cañadas cuentan historias trágicas de siglos pasados. Tendrá la oportunidad de visitar un castillo o dos y también tendremos la oportunidad de obtener algunas fotos de las ruinas del castillo. Visitamos el pintoresco pueblo montañoso de Luss, que se encuentra en las bonitas orillas del lago Lomond con vistas a Ben Lomond, el Munro más al sur de Escocia.

Itinerario
Pasaremos por el castillo de Stirling, gran residencia real de los Stuart Kings y Mary Queen of Scots, que accedió al trono en 1542 cuando solo tenía 6 días de edad.
Nuestra primera parada será en el Castillo de Doune, un magnífico bastión de finales del siglo XIV. El castillo fue sustituido por Invernalia en Juego de Tronos y el castillo Leoch en Outlander. También actuó como Castillo del Pantano, Castillo Ántrax y Camelot en la película cómica de culto Monty Python y el Santo Grial. Tendrás tiempo para visitar el Castillo.
Visitaremos el encantador Loch Lubnaig. Este pequeño pero increíblemente ubicado tramo de agua dulce enclavado entre dos impresionantes montañas, Ben Ledi y Ben Vane, es donde nos detendremos para tomar un refrigerio.
El castillo de Kilchurn se encuentra a la cabeza de Loch Awe, rodeado de montañas. Mientras disfrutamos de las vistas, nos detendremos para tomar algunas fotos en este castillo en ruinas de mediados del siglo XV.
Inveraray disfruta de un entorno pintoresco a orillas del lago Fyne y, por lo tanto, es el lugar perfecto para detenerse a almorzar. Con poco menos de 2 horas aquí, seguramente tendrá mucho tiempo para explorar. Puede optar por visitar la cárcel de Inveraray del siglo XIX (abierta todo el año, las entradas se compran el mismo día), un museo viviente donde puede experimentar cómo era estar encarcelado tras sus rejas. Mientras que otros pueden optar por dar un paseo por esta encantadora pequeña ciudad. Por otro lado, durante los meses de verano (de abril a octubre, solo de jueves a lunes) puede considerar una visita al castillo de Inveraray (las entradas se pueden comprar el mismo día), donde viven actualmente el duque de Argyll y su familia. Respire el aire puro de las Tierras Altas mientras pasea por el parque, el bosque y los jardines, que resplandecen con arcoíris de azaleas y rododendros que ciertamente florecen en Argyll en verano.
Hacemos una pausa para tomar fotos en el "Descansa y sé agradecido". Un mirador escocés icónico, llamado así gracias a las palabras talladas en piedra por los cansados soldados que construyeron la carretera militar original en 1753.
Nuestra última parada del día es en el encantador pueblo montañoso de Luss, que se encuentra en las bonitas orillas del lago Lomond. Hace unos 1.500 años, un misionero irlandés, St Kessog, llegó a Loch Lomond, y posteriormente trajo el cristianismo a la zona. Hay tiempo para que camines por el pueblo y, mientras exploras, deberías dar un paseo hasta el muelle donde verás a Ben Lomond de pie con orgullo sobre el lago Lomond.

Amazing tour, so many beautiful places to stop at. Douggie Douglas our guide was lovely, so friendly and knowledgeable and most importantly a great laugh. Loved the banter from the half Scottish mum and English daughters (think ants 🤣). Highly recommend this tour, Doune castle and Inveraray are stunning. The lochs are just beautiful. A comfortable journey in the minibus, great in a smaller group. This company is a family owned business can't fault anything.
Give Wee Stevie a gold star from us, please. Probably the funniest and most memorable tour we've done so far.
A good look at the highland lochs, villages and castles. A good day out in the country. A good introduction to the country side
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are glad you had a good time touring through Scotland. - Discover Scotland Tours
All the sites were very interesting. Our tour guide stevie gave us options of things to see at each stop. Also recommended places we could eat. You should bring rain gear in case the weather changes. Scenery along the way was beautiful.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and all the stops along the way. It's great to hear Stevie's recommendations and local knowledge helped make your day even better. We hope to welcome you back on another tour soon. - Discover Scotland Tours
The tour itself was good. The tour guide was a little low energy. He seemed knowledgeable enough, just a bit monotone.
Thank you for your review. It's disappointing to hear that you didn't enjoy your Tour Leader's commentary as much as we would have hoped. All of our Tour Leaders have different delivery styles, commentary etc and it sounds like on this occasion yours wasn't unfortunately a good match for you. We are glad however that you thought the tour was good and hope you'll return to Scotland in the future.
Douglas took us on a wonderful tour of the Highlands. We were glad to receive the tip to prebook tickets to Doune Castle. That stop was our favorite on the trip. Douglas was knowledgeable and full of stories that he told us during the drive. He also put together a playlist of music that he played throughout the journey and gave an introduction before each song. Douglas also made a short stop at a farm for us to feed some adorable highland coos. The van was also very comfortable and clean. Highly recommend this tour for a day trip outside of Edinburgh.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed your day in the Highlands with Douglas. It's great to hear that Doune Castle was your favourite stop and that you enjoyed his stories, music, and the chance to feed the Highland coos. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to Douglas. Thanks for your recommendation, and we hope to see you again on another tour! - Discover Scotland Tours
We recently took this tour and loved it! Kyle, the tour guide, was knowledgeable, funny, kind, accomodating, and made the experience such a positive one! He clearly loves what he does and is extremely knowledgeable about the history and ecology of the area. He grew up in the area where the tour goes, so he had fun tidbits to share along the way. The landscape and castles were gorgeous and I really appreciated the commentary as well as the playlist of Scottish music that he shared along the drive. We had one hiccup with the sound system malfunctioning (fuse blew) making it hard to hear Kyle in the back of the van. He handled the situation like a pro and surprised us with arranging a new vehicle at one of the stops. You won't be disappointed if you choose this tour- it was a highlight for my family during our time in Scotland.
It is great to see how much you enjoyed the tour with Kyle! We will be sure to let him know your appreciation of his knowledge, kindness, music playlist and sense of humour. We are glad that the tour felt smooth, even when there was malfunction we couldn't predict! We hope to welcome you back to Scotland in the future! - Discover Scotland Tours
