Tour di Loch Lomond, Stirling Castle e Kelpies da Edimburgo
Descrizione
Il tour del Loch Lomond da Edimburgo offre un po' di tutto ciò che la Scozia ha da offrire, da una piacevole crociera sul Bonnie Loch Lomond alle montagne delle "Highlands in miniatura" e al maestoso Castello di Stirling. Lasciando Edimburgo, siamo presto alle Kelpies, le più grandi sculture equine del mondo. La nostra sosta a Balloch è una grande opportunità per godere della vista sul Loch Lomond fino a Ben Lomond in lontananza. Puoi conoscere i vichinghi senza legge della zona e i clan in lotta durante una crociera sul lago opzionale. Poi si prosegue, nel Loch Lomond e nel Parco Nazionale dei Trossachs, un'area di straordinaria bellezza naturale in cui Rob Roy MacGregor è stato celebrato come un eroe e un fuorilegge. C'è tempo per una foto o due e una sosta per il pranzo in questa zona. Concludiamo la nostra giornata al Castello di Stirling, dove potrai fare un salto indietro nel tempo fino ai sontuosi giorni dei re e delle regine rinascimentali scozzesi.
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
I Kelpies sono le sculture equine più grandi del mondo. A 100 piedi di altezza sono una grande opportunità fotografica per i visitatori e la gente del posto.
Visitiamo il villaggio di Balloch sulle belle rive del Loch Lomond. I passeggeri possono acquistare i biglietti per partecipare a una crociera di 1 ora sul lago, che offre paesaggi pittoreschi e storia interessante nell'area. Se preferisci rimanere sulla terraferma, il Balloch Country Park è un luogo perfetto da esplorare.
Seguiamo il drammatico Duke's Pass e ci addentriamo nei Trossachs, le "Highlands in miniatura". Le opinioni divergono sul significato dietro i Trossach, ma il nostro preferito è dal gaelico che significa "il paese ispido". Ci fermeremo per una foto o due in questa zona, oltre a una sosta più lunga per goderci un pranzo. Questo paesaggio ha ispirato la poesia di Sir Walter Scott La signora del lago e il suo romanzo Rob Roy e pensiamo che anche tu sarai ispirato, sia che tu prenda la tua macchina fotografica o il tuo taccuino. Cerca un soggetto fotografico preferito, le nostre mucche delle Highland lanose e dalle lunghe corna. Li chiamiamo coos pelosi!
I passeggeri hanno l'opportunità di visitare il castello di Stirling (biglietti non inclusi, vedi esclusioni del tour), grande residenza reale dei re Stuart e di Maria, regina di Scozia, che qui fu dichiarata monarca nel 1543, all'età di soli nove mesi. È uno spettacolo imponente, arroccato sulla sua rupe, e avrai 90 minuti per esplorare questo gioiello storico.

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
