What You’ll Experience

Stirling Castle (Pass By)

One of the most important and largest castles in Scottish history, Stirling Castle sits on top of a hill of volcanic rock above the town of Stirling.

Scone Palace

Historically the ‘Stone of Destiny’ was housed at Scone Palace, the iconic crowning place of Scotland’s Kings and Queens.

An 80 min drive from Glasgow

1 hourAdmission Ticket Not Included

The Hermitage

This stretch of magical Perthshire forest was originally designed as a pleasure ground in the 18th century for the Dukes of Atholl. Douglas firs tower over the paths leading to the roaring Black Linn Falls, where the River Braan crashes down into the deep, foaming pools below. Overlooking the waterfall is the picturesque folly known as Ossian’s Hall, built in 1757 as the focal point in an extensive designed landscape. Decorated with mirrors, sliding panels and paintings, it has been refurbished to re-create the illusions of shock, surprise and amazement that were the aims of the folly’s original design. It makes a fine spot to contemplate the roaring, tumbling falls. This forest is home to the endangered and elusive red squirrels, and if your trip is in autumn you might see salmon head up the falls to their breeding grounds. A 35 min drive from Scone Palace

Beautiful Scotland

Sit back and enjoy the beauty of the trip. Scone palace was elegant. The chapel where they throned the kings/queens felt surreal.
