Your first stop is The Kelpies, two iconic 30-metre-high horse-head sculptures near Falkirk that celebrate Scotland's industrial heritage and the mythical water spirits of Scottish folklore. Next, visit Stirling Castle, one of Scotland's most significant historic fortresses. Explore its magnificent halls and royal apartments, discover the stories of Mary, Queen of Scots and William Wallace, and take in panoramic views from its hilltop setting. Alternatively, spend time exploring the historic city of Stirling, once Scotland's capital and the coronation site of James VI and I.

Wander among its charming cottages, enjoy stunning loch views, or visit the new Luss Distillery for immersive gin experiences and a curated selection of Loch Lomond whiskies.
