Explore the Scottish Highlands on a private day trip from Edinburgh, combining famous landmarks, historic castles, scenic lochs and mountain landscapes.
Begin with pickup from your Edinburgh hotel and travel in a comfortable private vehicle with a professional driver.
Your first stop is the Kelpies, where you can take photos of the impressive horse-head sculptures.
Next, visit Stirling Castle and enjoy free time to explore at your own pace. Choose to enter the castle and discover its historic interiors with a separately purchased admission ticket, or enjoy the views from outside.
Continue to Callander for a coffee break and time to stretch your legs. Along the route, look out for Scotland’s famous Highland cows, affectionately known as “Highland coos.” Where possible, stop to photograph these shaggy-haired cattle, although sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Travel onwards to Loch Lubnaig, where you can enjoy the peaceful setting and take photographs of the loch and surrounding hills.
Journey further into the Scottish Highlands to Bridge of Orchy for a scenic photo stop. Enjoy views of the changing landscape as you travel towards Glencoe Mountain Resort.
At the resort, you can choose an optional chairlift ride for elevated views of the surrounding mountains. Tickets are purchased separately, and the ride is subject to weather, opening hours and availability.
Continue to Glencoe for a scenic photo stop among dramatic mountains and valleys. Take time to enjoy the Highland scenery before relaxing on the return journey to your Edinburgh hotel.
