Start your journey ashore from Greenock Cruise Terminal with a visit to The Kelpies—Scotland’s remarkable 30-metre-high (95 feet) steel sculptures shaped like mythical water horses - a marvel of modern art and a stunning tribute to Scotland’s industrial heritage.

Next, we’ll make our way to Stirling Castle, one of Scotland’s grandest and most historically significant castles. Known for its breathtaking views and fascinating history, the castle was once home to kings and queens, including Mary, Queen of Scots.

After lunch in the local area, we’ll take you to meet some of Scotland’s most beloved residents—Highland cows! Here, you’ll have the chance to interact, feed, and snap photos with these iconic gentle giants.

Our final stop is the charming village of Luss on the banks of Loch Lomond. Take a relaxing walk through this quaint town and enjoy the stunning views across the loch – a perfect ending to your Scottish adventure.
