First Day - South
Arrive at the Loch Achray Hotel in time for dinner.
Christmas Eve
It’s Christmas Eve and celebrations begin with a visit to the ‘Queen of the Scottish Lakes’. Loch Lomond lies in a National Park and is an area of outstanding natural beauty. There is a host of wildlife, plenty of stunning views and many activities in and around the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Cruise on Loch Lomond to fully appreciate the landscape before visiting our Ardgartan Hotel for lunch. Return to your hotel for a complimentary sherry reception.
Christmas Day
Explore the beautiful Royal Burgh of Stirling where for centuries monarchs ruled from its strategic castle and where merchants operated below castle rock. Stirling is Scotland’s heritage capital, and the Wars of Independence were fought and won here. The city has been carefully preserved and the history of Scotland lives on through the architecture and local landmarks. The castle sits majestically above the busy city and its regal splendour remains unchanged. The coach will drop those wishing to visit the castle off and then you will walk through the cobbled streets of the Old Town to meet the coach in the town centre. The National Wallace Monument stands at 220ft and overlooks the scene of one of Scotland’s most famous battle sites, The Battle of Stirling Bridge, which was led by the famous William Wallace. After a busy day of exploring this historic city enjoy the tranquillity of Callander in the heart of the Trossachs. In the evening a traditional Christmas dinner will be served with live entertainment to celebrate Christmas Day.
New Year's Eve
Scotland’s Capital seamlessly blends old and new, making it a fabulous city to explore. The Castle and the Royal Mile are steeped in history and Scottish culture. Holyrood Palace lies in the heart of the city alongside the new Scottish Parliament building and it is the combination of ancient and modern that makes Edinburgh such a vibrant place to visit. Return to Loch Achray where dinner and entertainment will be held as you celebrate New Year’s Eve!
