7 Hour Tour from Glasgow to Stirling

You can completely customise this tour to your wishes.

Leave Glasgow

After leaving the centre of Glasgow via the motorway we are very quickly in the open countryside with Stirling and its surrounding hills soon visible in the distance. We have four places to visit in Stirling.

Stirling Castle

Stirling Castle is one of the largest and most important castles in Scotland, historically and architecturally. The castle sits high on a volcanic outcrop, guarding the lowest crossing point of the River Forth. There is a lot to be discovered and enjoyed in the castle.

Old Stirling Bridge

The present Stirling Bridge was built in the 1400s replacing a succession of timber bridges. In 1297 William Wallace defeated Edward 1's forces at The Battle of Stirling Bridge. Today the bridge is one of the best medieval masonry arch bridges in Scotland.

The William Wallace Monument

220 feet high and sited on top of Abbey Craig hill above the fields, where in 1297, Wallace led his troops to victory in The Battle of Stirling Bridge. There are 276 steps to the top, but its well worth the climb.

Return route to Glasgow

Our trip back is especially scenic with pretty villages, grand views with two excellent stops available if you so chose.

Glengoyne Distillery

Glengoyne Distillery has a number of tours available. Your itinerary can be adjusted if you want to take part in a tour, however, even without a tour it is still a great place for a stop, the picturesque buildings, the shop and the yard full of whisky casks provide a wonderful atmosphere.

Queen's View

Just 10 minutes drive from the distillery is the wonderful Queens View, as soon as we drive into the car park a panorama unfolds, Loch Lomond to the north framed by a line of peaks. If you are in the mood, a 400 yard walk up the hillside and the panorama is now spectacular.
