Overview

On our Highland Lochs, Glens & Castles tour from Edinburgh we will take you to some of the best scenery Scotland has to offer. Majestic mountains tumble down to shimmering lochs and castles, while glens tell tragic tales of centuries gone by. You will have the opportunity to visit a castle or two and we’ll also have the chance to get some photos of castle ruins. We visit the picturesque highland village of Luss which sits on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond with views to Ben Lomond, Scotland’s most southerly Munro.

Itinerary

  • Stirling Castle (Pass By)

    We’ll pass Stirling Castle, great royal residence of Stuart Kings and Mary Queen of Scots who acceded to the throne in 1542 when she was only 6 days old.

  • Doune Castle

    Our first stop will be at Doune Castle, a magnificent late 14th century stronghold. The castle stood in for Winterfell in Game of Thrones and Castle Leoch in Outlander. It also starred as Swamp Castle, Castle Anthrax and Camelot in the cult comedy movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. You will have time to visit the Castle.

    45 minutes

  • Loch Lubnaig

    We'll visit the lovely Loch Lubnaig. This small but stunningly located stretch of freshwater nestling between two striking mountains, Ben Ledi and Ben Vane is where we’ll stop for some light refreshments.

    20 minutes

  • Kilchurn Castle

    Kilchurn Castle stands at the head of Loch Awe, surrounded by mountains. While enjoying the views we'll stop for some photos at this mid-15th century ruined castle.

    10 minutes

  • Inveraray

    Inveraray enjoys a picturesque setting on the shores of Loch Fyne and is therefore the perfect place to stop for lunch. With just under 2 hours here, you'll certainly have lots of time to explore. You may choose to visit the 19th century Inveraray Jail (open all year round, tickets purchased on the day), a living museum where you can experience what it was like to be incarcerated behind its bars. While others may opt to have a wander around this lovely little town. On the other hand, during the summer months (April to Oct, Thurs - Mon only) you may consider a visit Inveraray Castle (tickets can be purchased on the day) where the Duke of Argyll and his family live today. Breath in the clear Highland air while you stroll around the parkland, woodland and gardens, which are resplendent with rainbows of the azaleas and rhododendrons that certainly flourish in Argyll in summertime.

    1 hour 40 minutes

  • Rest and be Thankful

    We pause for photos at the ‘Rest and Be Thankful’. An iconic Scottish viewpoint, so named thanks to the words carved in stone by weary soldiers who built the original military road in 1753.

    10 minutes

  • Luss

    Our last stop of the day is at the charming highland village of Luss which sits on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. Around 1,500 years ago, an Irish missionary, St Kessog, arrived at Loch Lomond, subsequently bringing Christianity to the area. There is time for you to walk around the village and while exploring you should take a walk down to the pier where you’ll see Ben Lomond standing proudly over Loch Lomond.

See Nessy with Discover Scotland

Published on Mar, 2025

On visiting Scotland I wanted to visit Loch Ness (let’s face it who wouldn’t). I booked this day trip through the Tourist Information Centre in Edinburgh and chose Discover Scotland because their tour bus was smaller and they offered guaranteed departures. The tour took us to Callendar for a pit stop for food before travelling through the highlands to Loch Ness (with many stops for photo ops along the way) Visitors need to be aware that to get on the boat tour which departs regularly from Loch Ness you need to pay your driver in cash otherwise you are unlikely to get on the tour. After finishing at Loch Ness your driver takes you back through the lowlands, stopping at Pitlochry for whiskey flavoured ice cream. Our driver was Jamie and he made our trip really enjoyable with his knowledge and facts. This was the highlight of our trip to Edinburgh and we would recommend any visitors to book this tour.
