Experience the Highlands' natural forests, lochs and mountains in Loch Lomond National Park and feel Scotland's past in the heartland of its great heroes - Rob Roy, Robert the Bruce and William Wallace. Your route north to Stirling follows in the footsteps of the ancient invading armies. This land was the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire and was under attack during the Wars of Scottish Independence. As you approach Stirling, you can spot the magnificent castle. Perched on the high volcanic rock, this stronghold is known as the ‘Key to Scotland’, and has witnessed battles that were turning points in Scottish history. You can learn about its past and discover the secrets of the royal court when you visit. From Stirling, you travel into the Highlands to an area known as the Trossachs National Park. This land is full of shimmering lochs, rugged mountain tops, and forest-filled glens. And it used to be a perfect place for outlaws like Rob Roy to hide. Hear the tale of this fascinating folk hero and enjoy the magnificent nature all around you before we stop for lunch (not included) in picturesque Aberfoyle. In the afternoon, the journey continues through the national park to the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. Framed by majestic mountains and adorned with over 30 islands, this stunning Loch has been celebrated in songs and poems for centuries. Here you'll join an hour-long cruise here to admire Loch Lomond from a different angle and enjoy the stories of the local wildlife, folklore, and history.  Back on dry land, cast the last glance at the loch and the national park before you start your return journey to Glasgow, where you arrive in the early evening.
