Explore Loch Lomond, the Trossachs, and Stirling Castle on a shore excursion from Greenock. Discover the charming village of Luss, enjoy a scenic drive, and visit the historic Stirling Castle.
Depart from Greenock Ocean Terminal and travel to Luss, one of Scotland’s prettiest highland villages sitting on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. Stroll around the village and find rows of little cottages that come alive in spring and summer with overflowing floral displays.
Follow these avenues of blooms to the pier where you can enjoy panoramic views of Loch Lomond and of Ben Lomond on the other side. Visit the village’s beautifully restored church, founded by Celtic Saint MacKessog. See the ancient graveyard and find an example of a ‘hogback’ grave, a stone sculpture thought to date back to a Viking raid in 1263.
Next, head through the dramatic Dukes Pass, one of Scotland’s most scenic drives, deep into the Trossachs, dubbed the ‘Highlands in miniature’ thanks to their outstanding beauty. Stop for lunch in the bustling tourist town of Callander. Crammed with teashops and souvenir opportunities, Callander is often described as ‘the gateway to the Highlands’.
After lunch, travel to Stirling Castle, one of the best preserved Renaissance buildings in the country which has been returned to its original glory. Follow in the footsteps of Scotland’s Stuart Kings, of Mary, Queen of Scots, and of Bonnie Prince Charlie.
Have enough time for a leisurely visit to the castle to learn about key moments in Scotland’s long, violent, and bloody history. In its shadows are the sites of the Battle of Stirling Bridge where William Wallace (of Braveheart fame) defeated a much larger English army in 1297, and Bannockburn where Robert the Bruce did the same in 1314.
Leaving Stirling Castle, head west and, time permitting, make a quick stop in Glasgow’s most famous square, George Square. Here, your friendly driver-guide will give you a flavor of Scotland’s most vibrant city and point out its stunning architecture before dropping you off at the port of Greenock where your excursion ends.
