Itinéraire
Jetez un œil en passant devant les ruines du palais royal de Linlithgow.
Visitez le château historique de Stirling, magnifiquement restauré.
Depuis le château de Stirling, profitez d'une vue fantastique sur le National Wallace Monument.
Notre voyage à Aberfoyle nous conduit sur les rives des lacs Venachar et Achray, à travers les magnifiques Trossachs - les «Highlands en miniature» - et sur la route panoramique de Duke's Pass, un magnifique paysage de montagnes et de lochs.
C'est le pays de Rob Roy, popularisé par les livres et les poèmes de Sir Walter Scott. Les légendes et les superstitions de fées ou «petits gens» abondent dans ces collines ...
Ici, près des célèbres « bancs de Bonnie », votre Guide vous accompagnera dans une courte promenade dans la nature, qui culminera avec un superbe point de vue sur les Highlands et une séance de photos sur le plus grand lac d’Écosse et la chaîne de montagnes des Alpes d’Arrochar. La définition géologique de l’Écosse entre Highlands et Lowlands peut être vue dans toute sa splendeur d’ici ! Le Loch Lomond et les Trossachs ont été désignés premier parc national d’Écosse en 2002 et il reste une zone extrêmement populaire auprès des habitants et des visiteurs.
Nous terminons la journée à la distillerie Glengoyne, située dans une vallée boisée du sud des Highlands. La distillerie, qui tire son nom de "Glen Guin" ou Glen of the Wild Oies, produit un single malt de haute qualité depuis près de 200 ans. Vous aurez bien sûr l'occasion de visiter cette distillerie magnifiquement située et de goûter le délicieux produit de 12 ans!
Le château de Doune est célèbre pour son apparition dans le film Monty Python : Sacré Graal !, Game of Thrones et Outlander.

The tour #2 to Stirling Castle and the Whisky Tasting was the absolute best! We were a small group of 7 people total. Everyone on the bus was fun and enjoyed the experience. Our driver and tour guide, Roddy, was exceptional! He made the tour relaxed and educational. He was very personable and shared so much information on all things Scottish. He played great music too! I will be recommending him to everyone who wants to do this tour!
It sounds like you had a great trip with Roddy, thanks. Happy days!
We loved the tour, the castle, Loch Lomond, the horse heads, et al. Our driver and guide was a young lady who was knowledgeable, funny, informative, and a skilled driver. Kudos.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a 5 star review. It’s much appreciated.
The bus was not comfortable, the seatbelt digs into your hip. The Hairy Coos were an unexpected highlight. The nature walk was NOT guided, and took us about an hour to get through-it is beautiful but we were a little anxious that we would not make it back to the bus in time. Guide was sweet and the distillery was nice.
Hi Laura, thanks for taking the time to review Heart of Scotland Tours.
We were with the Stirling Castle and whiskey tour. Calum regaled us with his knowledge of Scottish history and keep up a running commentary that was entertaining and informative.
Much appreciated, thanks!
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Lovely itinerary. A mix of history, nature and whiskey. Can’t do better. Our guide Roddy was spectacular. We appreciated his manner, his knowledge and his music selection. Thank you so much for a great day
Brilliant, thanks for such a nice review of Roddy and Heart of Scotland Tours.
Heart of Scotland Tours is the best!! As has been our experience on previous tours with this company, we loved our guide (Roddy) and thoroughly enjoyed our tour!!
Roddy will be chuffed - thanks!
We had the best time. Roddy was an amazing guide - super knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended!
Thanks for such a nice review of Roddy and our day trip across to Stirling Castle and Loch Lomond.
This tour was brilliant! A great sampling of everything that makes Scotland..well, Scotland! Our tour guide was Euan and was amazing! Very knowledgeable and personable, kept us entertained the whole time. The small group experience is absolutely the way to go - so much more intimate and personal than a "big bus" tour. I'd use Heart of Scotland Tours over and over!
Hi there, thanks for your review of Heart of Scotland Tours and Euan. It sounds like you had a great day!
What a fun day! James took us on a day trip to get a variety of experiences that make his country so wonderful. We started with a trip to Stirling Castle, a beautiful castle that we had almost to ourselves because we arrived fairly early. We stopped in a small town at a popular bakery for delicious sandwiches before a quick stop to photograph the famous "hairy coo". The stop at Glengoyne was very well done - informative and generous with tastings. We finished with a trip to the banks of Loch Lomond, even getting a chance to stretch our legs and walk a bit of the path around it. In between visits James did a great job with history, Scottish lore and personal stories, plus plenty of music.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Happy days on the wee red bus!
Roddy was our tour guide and was fantastic. He gave great history about Scotland! All of the stops were wonderful. This was a great way to explore small parts of Scotland.
Thanks for your 5 star review and we're glad to hear you enjoyed the tour so much.
