What to expect

Pollok Country Park

Pollok Park is on the outskirts of Glasgow, and the main attraction here is the iconic 'hairy coos' (Highland Cows).

Duration 15 minutes
2

The Kelpies & The Helix

Heading to Falkirk, we will take you to the tallest Equine Statues in the world, two legendary Scottish Sea Horses known as ‘Kelpies’. Weighing at 300 tons each and 100 feet tall, they are a feat of engineering.

Duration 30 minutes
3

Stirling

Next on the itinerary is Stirling, often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Highlands'. Stirling is a beautiful city with a centre featuring historic streets and independent shops. We estimate that your stay here will be around 90 minutes. If you choose to do so, we can take you to Stirling Castle and/or the Wallace Monument while in Stirling, but both have an admission charge should you decide to visit inside.

Duration 90 minutes
4

Doune Castle

Doune Castle was featured in the TV hit series Outlander, it was Winterfell in the Game of Thrones pilot, and it was where most of Monty Python and the Holy Grail was filmed. We will do a quick stop here if you are a fan of any of these shows for some pictures outside.

Duration 15 minutes

Sweeney's Cruise Co Loch Lomond

Our last featured attraction: a Cruise on Loch Lomond. The 1hr 'Experience' cruise with a sailing time of 3:30pm is the only one suitable to fit our schedule. Prices start at £16.50 for an Adult with various packages for Families and Young Adults.

Luss

If a cruise is not to your liking, we will take you to Luss, hailed as the most beautiful village in Scotland.
