Itinerary

  • Linlithgow Palace (Pass By)

    Catch a glimpse as we pass by the ruins of the Royal Palace of Linlithgow.

  • Stirling Castle

    Visit the beautifully restored historic Stirling Castle.

    1 hour 15 minutes

  • National Wallace Monument (Pass By)

    From Stirling Castle, enjoy fantastic views over to the National Wallace Monument.

  • N/A (Pass By)

    Our journey to Aberfoyle takes us along the banks of Lochs Venachar and Achray, through the beautiful Trossachs - the 'Highlands in Miniature' - and over the Duke's Pass scenic drive, a stunning Highland landscape of lochs and mountains.

  • Aberfoyle

    This is Rob Roy country, popularised by Sir Walter Scott's books and poems. Legends and superstition of faeries or 'wee people' abound in these hills...

    1 hour

  • Loch Lomond

    Here, by the famous ‘bonnie banks’, your guide will accompany you on a short nature walk, culminating in a superb Highland viewpoint and photo opportunity over Scotland’s largest lake and the Arrochar Alps mountain range. Scotland’s geological definition between Highlands and Lowlands can be seen in all its glory from here! Loch Lomond and the Trossachs were designated Scotland’s first National Park in 2002 and it remains an extremely popular area with locals and visitors alike.

    45 minutes

  • Glengoyne Distillery

    We finish the day at Glengoyne Distillery, situated in a wooded valley in the southern Highlands. The distillery, which takes its name from ‘Glen Guin’ or Glen of the Wild Geese, has been producing a high quality single malt for nearly 200 years. You will, of course, have the opportunity to tour this beautifully located distillery and sample the delicious 12 year old product for yourself!

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Doune Castle (Pass By)

    Doune Castle is famous for its appearance in Monty Python's Holy Grail, Game of Thrones and Outlander.

Great tour from great people, and a nice welcome to Scotland

Published on Oct, 2024

Fantastic tour with a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide. I booked this trip for my second day in Scotland during a 2-week stay and it gave me a wonderful overview of the landscape and history. The whole experience was professional without being stuffy - this isn't a big corporate tour but a well-run local operation. We started off at Stirling Castle and I opted to follow the castle's tour guide, which didn't leave a lot of time to explore myself (the castle tour was great, but maybe just poke around on your own if you want to really see it). Then we saw some Highland Cows for a few minutes and then headed to the beautiful Loch Lomond and did a little hike around the paths and up the hill to a beautiful view of everything. We ended at the Glengoyne Distillery and got a full history and tour of their whisky making and a lovely tasting. An all around fun day. Also, I was super-early to the pickup location and ended up chatting with another Heart of Scotland tour guide who was doing a bus to Hadrian's Wall, and she was as delightful as our tour guide was.
