After having a stroll around Luss, relax on a beautiful drive along the western shore of Loch Lomond, stopping at viewing points to admire the scenery of Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park.
Travel towards Argyll and visit the Gothic Inveraray Castle, learning about the Jacobite uprising and seeing rifles used against the Jacobite soldiers. Roam around the castle's 16 acres of wonderful gardens and soak in the smell of flowers in the air.
(Castle Closed - 1st November to 31st March)
During this period you'll get to enjoy the town of Inveraray, built in the 1700's, along with getting to spend more time at the historical locations later in the day. Leave the castle and keep an eye out for swimming seals as you travel along the shoreline of Loch Fyne, one of the deepest sea lochs in Scotland.
Travel past Dunadd Fort and hear stories of this historic site once home to Celtic kings who crossed the Irish Sea and made Scotland their kingdom. Steeped in rich history, Dunadd is first recorded in AD 683 and is believed to have been the powerful stronghold of Dál Riata.
Discover the roots of Scotland's ancient past as you travel past this remarkable location. Pretend you're Claire from Outlander as you discover a collection of monolithic standing stones, stone circles, and burial cairns believed to be over 5,000 years old. This truly is a special moment.
Take time to explore the ruins of Kilchurn Castle, a former fortress on the banks of Loch Awe. Watch for signs of clouds in the sky, as rumour has it that this historic castle was destroyed by lightning! Finish your unforgettable day trip by enjoying the most magnificent landscapes on the banks of Loch Lomond as we journey back to Glasgow.
