10 Hour Stirling Castle, Highlands & Whisky Private Guided Tour
This is one of our favourite day trips from Edinburgh that covers most things visitors wish to experience in one day. Castles, Lochs, Rivers, Glens, woodland walks and whisky. Oh and maybe even a legendary hairy Highland cow. On the spectacular scenic drive you will be able to relax and listen to Scottish music on the sound system.
You will hear about key points and people in Scottish history, such as Mary Queen of Scots, the Scottish Wars of Independence (the truth behind Braveheart), the Romans, the Vikings, Jacobite's and more.

The Kelpies & The Helix
The Kelpies are a magnificent piece of art and are the largest horse head sculptures in the world. Erected in 2024 they have become a must see on any tour passing the area. This usually a great little stop to grab a coffee too.
