About this activity
Meet your guide in central Edinburgh, then after hopping on the comfortable coach, begin your journey to the Southern Highlands.
Pass by the imposing Stirling Castle, one of the most important fortresses in the country. Sitting on a large crag, Stirling Castle has seen several Scottish monarchs crowned here. We will then stop to view the mighty Wallace Monument where you will hear the stories that made William Wallace legendary and see the battlefields and castles that have influenced Scotland’s past and present.
Further north we arrive at the ‘The Famous Grouse Experience’, one of the most celebrated distilleries of the Highlands. You’ll be taken on an informative tour before being escorted to the exclusive ‘Warehouse No. 9’. This room’s unique aromas and impressive displays are truly breath-taking, and your ‘private nosing and tasting’ is the only whisky lesson you’ll ever need. After a light lunch at the distillery’s restaurant, we make our way to Perthshire, where we take a gentle stroll through the woodlands to the cascading Black Linn Falls on the River Braan
After, recharge with a sandwich lunch and take a stroll around Black Linn Falls on the Braan River.
On the journey back to Edinburgh, stop by Dunkfeld Cathedral, an impressive Gothic structure that was begun in 1260 and finished about 240 years later.
