First Day - South
Arrive at the Inversnaid Hotel in time for dinner.
Aberfoyle, Callander & The Trossachs
‘The Highlands in miniature’ – this area is one of the most romantic in Scotland, with wild little glens, tranquil Lochs, miles of forest and rolling hills. The Trossachs have been immortalised by Sir Walter Scott who published the first ever international best seller, The Lady of the Lake, in 1810. This romantic narrative has encouraged many visitors to the area, including Queen Victoria on her frequent tours to Scotland, and was inspiration for both Wordsworth and Coleridge. The charming village of Aberfoyle lies on the banks of the River Forth in the magnificent Queen Elizabeth Forest Park. Both Callander and Aberfoyle are surrounded by glistening Lochs and wild little glens which only add to the tranquillity of the Trossachs.
Oban, Loch Linnhe, Glencoe & Rannoch Moor
Glencoe is undoubtedly the most popular and scenic glen in Scotland. The sheer scale and grandeur of the landscape is sure to inspire and the turbulet history of the area will fascinate visitors. Then visit nearby Rannoch Moor – one of Scotland’s outstanding areas of natural wilderness, before passing beautiful Loch Linnhe as you travel to the west coast. The largest town in Argyll & The Isles, Oban is known as the ‘Gateway to the Isles’ and is the ‘Seafood Capital of Scotland’. Oban has a way of drawing out the romantic side of visitors, with its mists that roll in from the sea and the hills which overlook the bay. The most iconic feature within Oban is McCaig’s Tower, a Colosseum lookalike that stands above the town and offers wonderful views out west. From seafood to whisky, Oban offers a great range of local produce –all well worth sampling!
Inveraray
Overlooking the still waters of Loch Fyne, Inveraray is the most iconic town in Argyll. This pretty town was founded in 1745 by the 3rd Duke of Argyll, head of the infamous Clan Campbell. Inveraray is a classic example of an 18th century planned town and the Georgian architecture remains unspoilt. There is plenty to do and see in the town and a visit to the neo-classical church and Inveraray jail are a must. Just a short walk from the town sits Inveraray Castle, the ancestral home of the Dukes of Argyll. The castle is a beautiful example of neo-gothic architecture and lies in extensive grounds with many short walks.
Glasgow & Kelvingrove Museum
Glasgow is Scotland’s largest city and is famed for its vibrancy and the friendliness of its people. The city is constantly developing and has an energetic atmosphere. Glasgow’s industrial roots as the ‘Second City of the Empire’ have given the city its character and Glasgow now offers fabulous museums, art galleries and architecture. The Edwardian Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum showcases a wide range of objects from Scotland and abroad within one of the most iconic and impressive buildings in Glasgow.
The Falkirk Wheel
Visit the world’s only rotating boat lift, designed to connect the Forth & Clyde Canal to the Union Canal in central Scotland. The Falkirk Wheel is a magnificent triumph in Scottish engineering and has already been recognized as an iconic landmark. Designed to replace a series of 19th century lock-gates the Falkirk Wheel is the showpiece of the Millennium Link project to re-establish coast-to-coast navigation of the canals for the first time in 40 years.
