Escape from Edinburgh and spend a relaxing day exploring some of the most beautiful scenery in Scotland, including Loch Lomond and seeing a Hairy Coo or two.

During this small-group tour we absorb unique Scottish scenery at its best with many magnificent lochs (lakes) set against backdrops of dramatic mountains. We'll also weave stories of Scottish history, pass through battle sites and be introduced to our nation's mythical creatures.

Departing Edinburgh it will not be long before we cross over the Forth Road Bridge and enter the Kingdom of Fife. After a short journey we'll pause for a break at Sherrifmuir, location of the Battle of Sherrifmuir in 1715; a significant event in Scottish history during the Jacobite rising.

Next, we continue through rural countryside passing sheep, cattle and ponies before descending Glen Eagles valley. Our next stop is the small town of Dunblane, famously the home of tennis star Andy Murray. Here, take a short riverside stroll to the picturesque Cathedral, explore the small independent shops and search out the golden postbox, dedicated to Andy Murray's Olympic gold medal!

Now we’ll enter into the Trossachs & Loch Lomond National Park, where we will pause near the small town of Callander, the 'Gateway to the Highlands', to say hello to some friendly defenders of the mountains - Hairy Coo's (Highland Cattle). This beautiful breed originates in the Highlands and they are instantly recognisable with their large horns and thick, wavy coats.

Continuing along small roads through loch-strewn glens – with many beautiful photo opportunities – we make our way to Loch Lomond. Arguably the most romantic and beautiful loch in all of Scotland, here we’ll have plenty of time to take a 1-mile loch-side walk, or a 45-minute boat trip. This will also be our lunch stop.

From here, our journey curves back towards a pair of striking structures, The Kelpies, huge sculptural representations of Scotland's mythical loch-dwelling spirits. At 30 metres (100 feet) tall, these are the world's largest equine sculptures.

Heading eastwards back towards Edinburgh and some final views of the Forth bridges, we’ll return to Cairngorms coffee shop where our adventure concludes at around 17.30hrs (5.30pm).
