This is your chance to visit Stirling Castle, a notably prominent feature on the skyline steeped in some of the most magnificent history in the country. It’s believed to have been besieged at least 16 times and changed hands many times during the Wars of Independence. (Think Braveheart) You’ll have the “Freeeeeeedommmm” to explore the castle and could even join one of their scheduled tours led by the expert Castle guides.

Once you’ve ticked off history, your wonderful tour guide will whisk you over to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park to experience the magnificent Scottish Highlands.

Your guide will take you over to Glengoyne Distillery where you will want to take a tour and learn all about “uisge beatha” Gaelic for “water of life” You’ll hear about the entire whisky making process and even get to delight your taste buds with a wee dram or two, and you might even want to take home a bottle for a nightcap occasionally.
