This is probably the perfect day trip out of Edinburgh. First, I'll take you to Stirling Castle, an ancient royal fortress, where you'll have at least 90 minutes to explore its history. Then, for lunch I'll book you into a charming pub in the Loch Lomond National Park. Finally, in the afternoon you'll visit a disitllery for a tour and tasting there before we return to Edinburgh.

About Tour Guide Barney N.
Hi, I'm Barney. I have 14 years of experience guiding guests around Scotland, taking day tours out of Edinburgh. Whether I take people on scenic tours, or to historical sites like castles, or whisky tasting, I'm reminded every day that I really do have the best job in the world, in my favourite country in the world, and I'd like to share that with you.
I was born in Edinburgh, and graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 2008 with a history degree, so I know what I'm talking about when it comes to Scottish history. But I also consider myself a storyteller, and my main job is to entertain you, so please don't feel that you're going to get dry lectures on history and culture. You don't need to remember a single thing I tell you, so long as you enjoy yourself.
Also, please don't feel constrained by the standard tours I offer. I have many years of guiding experience, so if there's something you want to see that's not listed, just send me a message through Go With Guide and ask me to create a personalised itinerary just for you, which I'm always happy to do.
