Full description
Escape the chaos of city centers and head for the tranquil Scottish Highlands on a 9-hour scenic tour of Loch Lomond, Stirling Castle and more. Following a pick-up from your hotel in Edinburgh, you will take a brief panoramic trip around Scotland’s second city of Glasgow.
Then, head west towards Loch Lomond, passing the River Clyde. Stop on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, Britain’s largest expanse of water, with time for a boat trip or a ramble, if you wish.
Move on to the village of Aberfoyle, gateway to the Trossachs, where you will stop for lunch. With its lochs, glens, and heather-covered mountains, this area is often referred to as “Scotland in Miniature.” It was a favorite destination of Sir Walter Scott, who used the location as the backdrop for his “Rob Roy” and “The Lady of the Lake” stories.
Drive through the picturesque village of Callander and stop to visit Stirling Castle, location for many scenes in the hit movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
As you drive back into Edinburgh, relaxing music will be played in the coach.

Very interesting and enjoyable
took the loch lomond and stirling castle with Graylines Dougie the driver and guide is a mine of information and his story telling is really good. He has a great attitude and is friendly and outgoing nothing was too much trouble a mine of information and kept us entertained with his patter saw some beautiful sites and would recommend this trip especially if you like The Hairy Coos. Dougie should get a bonus for his efforts.

Wholst me and my travel companion did not get to go on this tour since it was cancelled, I do have to say GreyLine was very supporting. They offered me an upgrade and we went with the Highlands Tour instead of this one. A great experience and welcoming customer service. Wonderful!

Departure point was 2 miles from our hotel, although it was said that departure should be at or near the hotel. City tour of Glasgow looked like it was driven on the motorway through Glasgow, I imagine a city tour differently. After breaks, the driver did not wait until everyone had taken a seat, but started so quickly that some bags flew through the bus. The guide talked a lot, but had such a strong accent that there was little to understand.
