Heroes, Castles, and Bonnie Banks
Stirling & Loch Lomond
Where the Highlands Begin
This route perfectly balances Scotland's bloody history with its serene natural beauty. Stand where William Wallace and Robert the Bruce fought for independence, then retreat to the peaceful shores of Loch Lomond.
Because you are traveling privately, we can alter the balance of the day based on your interestsβspending more time deep in the history of Stirling Castle, or more time cruising the waters of the loch.

Flawless execution from Edinburgh to the Hebrides
"We booked the 14-day Grand Scotland tour for our 30th anniversary. Having our dedicated chauffeur Richard in a pristine Range Rover Autobiography made all the difference on the winding single-track roads. The private access to the Macallan vault and the after-hours castle tour in Edinburgh were memories we will cherish forever. Worth every penny."

Perfect pacing for three generations
"Traveling with elderly parents (78 & 82) and two teenagers is normally a logistical nightmare. Highland Travel Group curated an itinerary with zero strenuous walking, ensuring my parents had comfortable vantage points and accessible castle suites. The Mercedes V-Class captain chairs were heavenly. Richard also arranged wonderful hot meals and tea stops every day."

Unrivalled access and true Scottish hospitality
"As Scotch collectors, we have visited Speyside several times, but never with this level of behind-closed-doors privilege. Direct barrel tastings with master archivists and private dining at Aldourie Castle were spectacular. Total discretion, impeccably dressed chauffeur, and zero fuss."
