Private Stirling and Highland Full Day Guided Tour

Start your day with a visit to the picturesque town of South Queensferry, located on the banks of the Firth of Forth. Marvel at the iconic Forth Bridges, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and take in the stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Explore the charming cobbled streets, and perhaps enjoy a morning coffee with a view of the water.

Next, head to Stirling Castle, one of Scotland’s most historically significant sites. Perched high on a volcanic rock, the castle offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Explore the royal chambers, grand halls, and the impressive Great Hall, all steeped in history. Learn about the castle's role in Scotland's past, particularly during the Wars of Independence.

A short drive from Stirling Castle takes you to the Battle of Bannockburn Visitor Centre. Here, you'll immerse yourself in the history of one of Scotland's most famous battles, where Robert the Bruce secured a crucial victory over the English in 1314. The interactive exhibits and 3D battle simulation bring this dramatic event to life.

Continue your journey to The Kelpies, the world’s largest equine sculptures located in The Helix park near Falkirk. Standing 30 meters tall, these stunning steel structures represent the shape-shifting water spirits of Scottish legend. Take a guided tour to learn about the engineering marvel behind these impressive sculptures, and enjoy a walk around the scenic park.

From The Kelpies, head towards the Highlands with a stop in Callander, a picturesque town often referred to as the "Gateway to the Highlands." Nestled among rolling hills and rivers, Callander offers charming shops, cafes, and a chance to experience Highland life. Don’t miss a walk along the River Teith or a visit to the nearby Bracklinn Falls.

As you venture further into the Highlands, keep an eye out for the iconic Highland Cows, affectionately known as "Heilan Coos." These shaggy, long-horned cattle are synonymous with the Scottish Highlands. If you're lucky, you'll have the chance to stop and photograph these gentle giants in their natural habitat.

Next, visit the National Wallace Monument, a towering structure dedicated to William Wallace, the legendary Scottish hero. Climb the 246 steps to the top of the monument for breathtaking views of Stirling and the surrounding landscape. Inside, explore exhibits that detail Wallace’s life and his role in the struggle for Scottish independence.

Stunning Highland Village: End your day in the stunning village of Killin, located at the western end of Loch Tay. This picturesque village is famous for the Falls of Dochart, a series of beautiful waterfalls that cascade through the heart of the village. Surrounded by mountains, Killin offers a tranquil and breathtaking setting, perfect for a peaceful stroll or simply soaking in the natural beauty.
