What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Doune Castle, Castle Hill, Doune, Stirling FK16 6EA Scotland
This beautiful 14th century castle will be well recognised due to its status in the film and TV industry. Doune Castle* was used in the filming of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It was also used to represent part of Winterfell in season 1 of Game of Thrones and is the fictional Castle Leoch in Outlander. Monty Python’s very own Terry Jones narrates the audio guide, which we recommend to our passengers to highlight some of the subtleties and secrets of the castle.
Duration: 1 hour
Pass By: Kilchurn Castle, Lochawe, Dalmally PA33 1AF Scotland
On departure from Doune Castle, our driver will aim to stop at convenient services for comfort and refreshment. The journey continues past plenty of dramatic scenery with an abundance of ‘Lochs, Glens and Bens’. The coach will stop for a photo opportunity at Kilchurn Castle on the banks of the beautiful Loch Awe; this is one of the most photographed Castles in Scotland, often used in calendars and postcards.
Stop At: Inveraray, Inveraray, Argyll and Bute, Scotland
The next stop is the highland town of Inverary. Your driver will give you a quick driven tour of the town so that you may get your bearings. Once off the coach, the opportunity is there to explore Inverary Castle* (featured on the 2014 Downton Abbey Christmas special), the old Jail* or merely relax in the town with some lunch and a drop of whisky (own expense)
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Luss, Luss, Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, Scotland
Luss is a small and classical highland village on the ‘bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond’. This body of water is well known through Scottish song, poetry and folklore. You will then pass Stirling Castle and be returned to Edinburgh for city centre drop-offs.

A hasonlóan egynapos Lochness-túra sokkal népszerűbb.

He kept us entertained and taught us so much about Scottish history and shared some good tunes with us too. We did several excursions in Scotland from Edinburgh and this one was our favorite!

I did this tour because the original one I booked was cancelled due to lack of bookings, but the company were very helpful and rearranged the other tour I had booked so I could do this one. This was a wonderful tour, lots to see and learn. Brendan was our driver and he was very friendly and knowledgeable, (and a little crazy, which just added to the fun) the coach was very comfy. Also Gray line are the ONLY company in Edinburgh I found to do hotel pick ups (or as close as they can get), everyone else you have to travel right into the city centre early in the morning. I Definitely recommended this trip.Brian who both drove and acted as storyteller did a fabulos job of making the trip memorable. We visited very lovely places, my only regret was the boat ride,l on Loch Lomond. Once you've been on one, you've pretty much been on all of them, hah!
