Loch Achray Hotel 6 Day Scenic Scotland
First Day - South
Arrive at the Loch Achray Hotel in time for dinner.
Cruise Loch Lomond and visit Luss
Visit the ‘Queen of the Scottish Lakes’ and explore the famous bonnie banks. Loch Lomond lies in a national park and is an area of outstanding natural beauty. There is a host of wildlife, plenty of stunning views and many activities in and around the national park. Cruise on Loch Lomond to fully appreciate the landscape. For such a small place there is an incredible amount of history attached and the shoreline along from the Inversnaid Hotel was the hideout for both Robert the Bruce and the famous Rob Roy MacGregor in their daring escapades. Travelling south into Clan Colquhoun territory lies the pretty village of Luss. Developed in the 18th and 19th centuries to house the workers from nearby slate quarries, the village is remarkably unchanged and the identical sandstone and slate cottages became the setting for the successful TV show Take the High Road. Wander down the pebbly street to the pier for breathtaking panoramic views of Loch Lomond against the mighty backdrop of Ben Lomond.
Culzean Castle
Sitting on a cliff, Culzean Castle is surrounded by wild seas, beautiful forests and secret gardens. The castle has been associated with the Kennedy family since the 14th century and was converted between 1777 and 1792. From the oval staircase to the majestic woodland there are plenty of unique attractions at Culzean.
Pitlochry, Queen's View, Tummel Bridge & Killin
Pitlochry is beautifully set in Highland Perthshire and has been a popular tourist destination since Queen Victoria made her Grand Tour of Scotland. As you travel through the glens of Perthshire you will be amazed by the famous Queen’s View before visiting Killin. This pretty village is famous for the spectacular series of rapids that run through the centre – The Falls of Dochart. Wander around the little village and enjoy the short walks that explore the Falls, whilst soaking up the friendly local atmosphere of this special place.
Cruise on the Firth of Forth & the Kelpies
Cruise underneath three of Scotland’s major landmarks as you sail along the River Forth. Full of history and industrial importance this river tells a story in itself. The boat tour will take you past Inchcolm Island, the ‘Iona of the East’, before exploring the history of the surrounding area and the three magnificent Forth Bridges. Continue exploring Scotland’s landmarks with a visit to the Kelpies. Towering above the Forth & Clyde Canal these steel horse sculptures are an homage to the horse power heritage that built industrial Scotland.
