Departing Edinburgh, we travel westwards for our first stop at Loch Lomond, one of the largest lochs in Scotland. Here, you can choose an hour-long cruise with views of the loch's islands or stroll through the lochside village of Luss, known for its cafes and views.

Next, we continue through Trossachs National Park, characterized by lochs, mountains, and forests, and known as the home of Rob Roy MacGregor. Time will be spent exploring before we stop for lunch in a small village.
