Full description

Storytelling is one of the best and most important parts of Scottish and Irish culture. Here in Scotland, it brings the scenery, sites, and their characters alive for a tour that you won’t soon forget. You will experience the moving and incredible Edinburgh Military Tattoo, sample local whisky, and see breathtaking scenery along the way.

Scotland’s Highlands are beautiful and green, the land of forests, mountains, rivers, and glens. From Edinburgh, the tour goes through Stirling. Take in the views of the castle and learn the history behind the Wallace Monument. Continue to the Trossachs National Park, the former home to the infamous cattle thief Rob Roy MacGregor. Characters and scenes come alive in your imagination as you take in the park and surrounding area. The tour follows the shoreline of Loch Earn on the way to a local whisky distillery.

Here, you'll take a guided tour that will give you an insight into how ‘uisce beatha’ (the ‘water of life') is made, as well as going on a journey to discover the history behind one of Scotland’s most iconic exports.

Explore the peaceful Hermitage, stretch your legs and take a woodland walk to Black Linn Falls on the River Braan. See Dunkeld and the spectacular cathedral on the banks of the River Tay. Return south past the Forth Bridge, to Edinburgh. There will be time to return to your hotel or explore the city a while before the evening event: the Military Tattoo at Edinburgh Castle.

Haidee Leigh – AustraliaAugust 25, 2024 – Verified booking
Such a fantastic day and night, thanks to our guide, Rich. Started off from Edinburgh and visited the Kelpies, then onto the distillery with a great tour by, Jamie. Lunch was in beautiful Dunkeld, then a walk in the woods to the falls. Special last stop for rest break and Highland Coos at Perth, (thanks Rich!). Ended the night with the Tattoo, absolutely amazing! Best day out and not rushed on the tour stops either. Best of all, Rich made sure everyone on the tour was well looked after and had a great day. Also great music and history on the bus too. Can't wait for my next tour, thanks again.
