Capital Edinburgh – Castle, Stirling and Trossachs

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service and then north to Scotland and Bo'ness for our four-night stay.

Explore Edinburgh, Scotland's historic capital, where the majestic castle towers over the whole city.

The medieval Old Town and elegant New Town sit side-by-side, dotted with fantastic visitor attractions. Princes Street is home to city centre shopping, and there are plenty of restaurants and cafés to enjoy where you can sit and watch the world go by!

We return to capital Edinburgh today and visit the spectacular castle, which has witnessed many defining moments in Scottish history. Highlights include the Scottish Crown Jewels, tiny St. Magaret's Chapel and Mons Meg, a huge cannon which is one of the oldest in Europe.

There'll be some free time today to head into Edinburgh after our visit, so you can perhaps revisit any highlights or head somewhere new!

Today we visit the impressive city of Stirling. Explore the Old Town and the Victorian Stirling Arcade, admire the historic castle and take in the National Wallace Monument.

We continue to Callander, a colourful town brimming with tea rooms and souvenir shops, before taking a scenic drive through the Trossachs National Park. We travel through Brig O'Turk, over Duke's Pass and via Aberfoyle before returning to the hotel.

Return home.
