From Edinburgh: West Highland Lochs and Castles Day Trip

Explore the Scottish Highlands on this bus day trip from Edinburgh. Take in classic sights, including Doune and Inveraray Castle, with a drive past the historic Stirling Castle. Admire natural landscapes like Loch Lubnaig, Glen Ogle, and the Arrochar Alps.

Hop aboard the spacious, air-conditioned bus in Edinburgh and travel west, passing the imposing show of Stirling Castle, which rests high on its volcanic rock. Visit to Doune Castle, which was featured in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".

Stop for refreshments in the charming loch-side village of Luss before crossing the scenic Arrochar Alps, with a short pause near the summit of the iconic Rest and Be Thankful Pass.

Venture to Inveraray, a quaint town built in the mid-18th century, on the shore of Loch Fyne. Have free time to explore the town and pick up some Highland souvenirs, or pay an optional visit to Inveraray Castle (closed Tuesdays & Wednesdays), the historic home of the Duke of Argyll.

After lunch, we continue deeper into the Highlands, stopping to admire Kilchurn Castle, one of Scotland's most photographed landmarks, dramatically set on the shores of Loch Awe and framed by surrounding mountains. We then travel through the impressive Glen Ogle and alongside the scenic waters of Loch Lubnaig, enjoying views of classic Highland scenery.

Begin our return journey with a short refreshment stop at the iconic Green Welly, followed by a photo stop at the historic King's Knot, set beneath the backdrop of Stirling Castle.
