Itinéraire
Nous visitons Luss, l’un des plus jolis villages d’Ecosse, situé sur les rives du Loch Lomond. En vous promenant dans le village, vous trouverez des rangées de petits chalets qui s’animent au printemps et en été avec des étalages floraux débordants. Ces avenues fleuries vous mèneront à la jetée où vous pourrez profiter d'une vue panoramique sur le Loch Lomond et sur Ben Lomond de l'autre côté.
Le nom « Traversachs » vient du gaélique signifiant « le pays hérissé ». Sa forêt épaisse, ses cascades jaillissantes et ses lochs tranquilles étaient l’arrière-cour de l’un des hors-la-loi les plus célèbres d’Écosse, Rob Roy MacGregor, qui a acquis sa notoriété en tant que bandit et soldat, mais a fini par devenir un héros folklorique écossais. Il est immortalisé dans le film Rob Roy et dans le roman historique du même nom de Sir Walter Scott, qui s’est également inspiré de ce paysage sauvage et romantique pour écrire son poème épique Lady of the Lake.
Nous nous arrêtons pour déjeuner dans la ville touristique animée de Callander. Plein de salons de thé et de souvenirs, Callander est souvent décrit comme « la porte d’entrée des Highlands ».
Nous visitons le splendide château de Stirling, l'un des bâtiments Renaissance les mieux conservés du pays qui a retrouvé sa gloire d'origine. Suivez les traces de Stuart Kings d’Écosse, de Mary, reine d’Écosse et de Bonnie Prince Charlie. Vous aurez assez de temps pour visiter tranquillement le château et en apprendre davantage sur les moments clés de la longue, violente et sanglante histoire de l’Écosse. Ce ne serait pas un château écossais s’il n’avait pas été témoin de batailles historiques. Dans ses ombres se trouvent les sites de la bataille de Stirling Bridge où William Wallace (de renommée Braveheart) a vaincu une armée anglaise beaucoup plus importante en 1297, et Bannockburn où Robert le Bruce a fait de même en 1314.

Really good trip and our guide Colin was excellent and very entertaining. Visiting Loch Lomond was particularly memorable and he even managed to stop the coach in order for us all to take some pictures of highland cows. The trip run on time and we were back at the cruise terminal bang on time which is very critical if you are on a British cruise!
Thanks so much for the review! We are so glad Colin looked after you so well and that you got to see Loch Lomond, and getting a bonus stop for Highland cow photos is always a massive win! We totally get how stressful cruise schedules can be, so making sure you are back at the terminal exactly when you need to be is always a huge priority for us. So glad it all ran like clockwork. Enjoy the rest of your cruise! - Discover Scotland Tours
We had an absolutely fantastic day with Dave from Wow Scotland! From start to finish, he made the tour feel personal, relaxed, and genuinely fun. Exploring Loch Lomond and Stirling Castle was incredible, but what really made the experience stand out was Dave himself. He’s the perfect mix of knowledgeable and entertaining—full of great stories, history, and just the right amount of humor. You can tell he really loves what he does. And of course, seeing the Highland coos up close was a highlight we won’t forget anytime soon! If you’re considering a tour with Wow Scotland, don’t hesitate—I would recommend.
Thank you for such a wonderful review! We’re so glad you had a fantastic day with Dave, he’ll be delighted to hear how much you enjoyed his stories, and personal touch. It’s great that Loch Lomond, Stirling Castle, and those unforgettable Highland coos made it such a special experience. We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again on another adventure with us! -Discover Scotland Tours
Do yourself a favour and avoid ship priced shore excursions. We had a fantastic day out with this company. From meeting us at our ship to returning us before the ship sailed, we had a great time. We really enjoyed the local snacks - such a thoughtful touch. Our driver, Marc, was warm and friendly.
