Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National ParkPass-by Only
The Trossachs, known as the gateway to the Scottish Highlands, is a breathtaking region of rolling hills, serene lochs, and majestic mountains. This area forms part of Scotlands first national park and we'll stop off at a few points of interest as we travel over the route known as 'The Dukes Pass". Back during the early 19th century, this area was made famous by the writer Sir Walter Scott. He was deeply inspired by the Trossachs' stunning beauty, particularly when crafting his novel "Rob Roy."
