Heart of Scotland Full Day Trip

Many believe that this is the most comprehensive excursion that can be done in one day from Edinburgh and that is why it has become our number one excursion. We mix in the nature of the Highlands through its forests and lakes. We learn about their culture in villages and distilleries. And, we finished the afternoon learning about the history of the country through William Wallace in the city of Stirling. Ah! And of course we visit the Kelpies.

Hermit's Forest:

FOREST THE HERMITAGE

We will walk next to the tallest trees in the United Kingdom through a beautiful path that runs alongside the River Braan and that will take us to the Black Finn Falls. Without a doubt, this is the best way to start your morning and breathe in the pure air of nature in the Highlands.

Blair Athol Distillery:

BLAIR ATHOL DISTILLERY

This distillery has been one of the most beautiful whiskey distilleries in Scotland since 1798. Located in the picturesque town of Pitlochry, we explain everything related to whiskey culture, the history of the distilleries, the production process and everything that involves nowadays the Scotch whiskey industry for this country.

(* The visit is free. There is the possibility of entering to see the fermentation and distillation room by participating in the tour in English. £ 10)

Mirador de la Reina:

MIRADOR DE LA REINA

Located in the Tay Forest Park, where the landscape changes with the seasons, it is a place that is charming no matter what time of year. So much so that it became the favorite place of Queen Vitoria. From there it acquires the name of the Mirador de la Reina. From here we will see Lake Tummel, ‘the mountain of the fairies’, Schiehallion, and much more.

Lake Tay:

LAKE TAY

Loch Tay is the largest lake in the Perthshire region. With its 24km long and surrounded by farms, it gives us dream landscapes that allow us to know the internal and rural life of the country. At Lake Tay we will stop on its shores to take a magnificent memory! And let us tell you that, although it does not have a monster, its beauty is also worthy of any legend!

Killin:

KILLIN

It is a small town located in the western part of Loch Tay, where the Lochay and Dochart rivers meet, and within the Trossachs and Loch Lomond National Park. Taste the local cuisine overlooking the Dochart waterfall, a spectacular series of rapids. (* Food not included).

Doune:

DOUNE CASTLE

We stopped at Doune Castle, an impressive elevated building overlooking the River Teith built for the first Duke of Albany. It is also famous for being the setting in the Outlander series - Castle Leoch - as well as Game of Thrones - Winterfell - and the Monty Python and the Knights of the Square Table movie.

* During the winter months, visiting is impossible due to low sunlight.
