What To Expect
- Stirling Castle (Pass By)
Stirling Castle has been likened to ‘a huge brooch clasping Highlands and Lowlands together’. From high on a volcanic outcrop, the castle guarded the lowest crossing point of the River Forth for centuries. Today it remains a great symbol of Scottish independence and national pride.
- Loch Tulla Viewpoint
This is one of the smaller lochs that you pass if you are walking the West Highland Way and can be found close to Inveroran and Bridge of Orchy. The views around here are amazing. Be sure to get a picture.
- Glencoe
Go see the spectacular Three Sisters Mountain and listen to the tour guide explain the history of the McDonald family. McDonald family is very famous family in old Scotland.
- Loch Ness
Have lunch at the beautiful town. And can have a chance to see Nessie if take the boat, this is an option. You can buy the tickets from the tour guide.
- Pitlochry
Pitlochory is largely a Victorian town, which developed into a tourist resort after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert visited the area in 1842 and bought a highland estate at Balmoral, and the arrival of the railway in 1863. It remains a popular tourist resort today and is particularly known for its Pitlochry Festival Theatre, salmon ladder and as a centre for hillwalking, surrounded by mountains such as Ben Vrackie and Schiehallion. It is popular as a base for coach holidays. The town has retained many stone Victorian buildings, and the high street has an unusual period cast iron canopy over one side.
- Forth Road Bridge
The Forth Bridge is a celebrated Scottish landmark, and a milestone in the development of railway civil engineering. It was the first major structure in Britain to be made of steel and its construction resulted in a continuous East Coast railway route from London to Aberdeen.
