Your Itinerary

The Kelpies & The Helix

We depart Edinburgh and head for the stunning Kelpies, the world's largest equine sculptures dedicated to the horse-powered heritage of Central Scotland, designed by Andy Scott. They also celebrate the mythological transforming beasts living in our lochs, rivers and streams, who possess the strength and endurance of 100 horses.

Balmaha

Head west through Scotland's central belt towards the ‘Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond’ where we take time at Balmaha to admire views of Ben Lomond. Here, you will have the opportunity to go on a woodland walk that will afford you great views of the loch. Standing on its bank you will understand why Loch Lomond has been immortalised in a world-famous song.

Paul is truly a very knowledgeable and very nice person. Good experience. just add a little more time to the kelpie, and to the stirling castle, and then everything would be perfect

Lovely tour with nice hotspots! Tiegan was a great guide! Only Doune Castle was a bit underwhelming, but the great highlands views made up for it.

Steven and Brian were a great compo! Steven had a great sense of humor and it was nice to listen to all the scottish stories on the bus. The trip was not also too long and the sights amazing! The only complaint would be that it was not really pleasant to wait in the rain for 40 minutes in the morning before getting to the bus.
