Day 1:
Following our pick-ups this morning we will proceed to Belfast to check-in for the 07.30hrs Stena Line crossing to Cairnryan. We will then begin our journey North towards the Cairngorms, making comfort stops and a lunchtime stop en-route. Sit back and relax as we travel through the magnificent scenery along the edge of Loch Lomond to Drymen for an approximate arrival time of 16:30hrs.
A warm welcome awaits us at the Winnock Hotel where we will be based for our tour.
Ground floor rooms available – No Lift!
Day 2:
Today we will take an excursion through the lovely scenery of the Trossachs towards Callander. We will travel to Loch Katrine pier where we change our mode of transport for a 10:30hrs - 2 hour cruise on the steam ship SS Sir Walter Scott. Sit back and enjoy this relaxed mode of transport as we gently cruise the glistening waters.
Day 3:
Today our excursion will take us to join a steam train journey from Bo’ness & Kinneil. There's nothing so nostalgic as the rumble of a mighty heritage steam locomotive to take us on this 10-mile return journey through woodlands, passed waterfalls and over the Avon Viaduct with afternoon tea onboard. We will then move on towards Falkirk for a visit to the Falkirk Wheel, a rotating boat lift which connects the Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. Our coach will meet us here for our return journey to Drymen.
Day 4:
This morning we can enjoy a leisurely day on Loch Lomond for a 1-hour scenic cruise.
Again we can sit back and enjoy this relaxing cruise, after which we will take a short leisurely drive and visit Loch Lomond Outlet. Here you can browse or purchase any last minute gifts.
Day 5:
All too soon it is time to say our ‘good-byes’. As we begin our journey home we will retrace our steps along the A77 towards Ayr where we will have a comfort break. Continuing south we will make a further stop, time permitting, in the traditional little town of Girvan. Refreshed and ready to move on, we will proceed to Cairnryan where we must check in for the 15:30hrs ferry home to Belfast.
NB: Your driver will confirm/amend departure times as necessary for the duration of the tour.
