Highlights
  • Edinburgh - Our driver will pick you up at your chosen location in Edinburgh, marking the start of our journey.
  • Blackness Castle - Our first stop is Blackness Castle, a formidable fortress known as “the ship that never sailed.” Marvel at its unique shape, explore the ramparts, and enjoy the stunning views.

Travel time to Blackness Castle is 45 minutes, and we will spend up to 45 minutes here, with an option to enter the castle for £8 per person.

  • Linlithgow Palace - Located in the town of Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland, 15 miles west of Edinburgh, the ruins of Linlithgow Palace were once a principal residence for the monarchs of Scotland in the 15th and 16th centuries.

  • The Kelpies & The Helix - The Kelpies are 100-foot-tall horse-head sculptures built in 2013 between Falkirk and Grangemouth. The kelpie legend is believed to have originated from human sacrifices to water gods, but it later evolved into a tale to keep children away from dangerous lochs and rivers.

  • Falkirk Wheel - The Falkirk Wheel is a rotating boat lift in Tamfourhill, Falkirk, central Scotland, connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. It reopened the connection between the two canals for the first time since the 1930s and was inaugurated in 2002 as part of the Millennium Link project.

  • Stirling Castle - Located in Stirling, this is one of Scotland’s largest and most historically and architecturally significant castles. Perched atop an intrusive crag that is part of the Stirling Sill geological formation, the castle is surrounded on three sides by steep cliffs, providing a strong defensive position. Its strategic location, guarding the farthest downstream crossing of the River Forth until the 1890s, has made it a crucial fortification since ancient times.

  • National Wallace Monument - The National Wallace Monument is a 67-meter tower on the shoulder of Abbey Craig, a hilltop overlooking Stirling. It commemorates Sir William Wallace, a Scottish hero from the 13th and 14th centuries.

  • Dunfermline Abbey and Palace - Our next stop is Dunfermline Abbey in the Kingdom of Fife. This ancient abbey has royal connections. Explore its rich history, wander through the ruins, and admire the intricate stonework. Travel time to this destination is 30 minutes, and we will spend up to an hour here.

  • Queensferry Crossing - On our return to Edinburgh, we’ll stop by the Queensferry Crossing to view the three bridges.

The Rail Bridge, built in 1890, was the first of the three bridges. The Forth Road Bridge, constructed in 1964, was the fourth longest in the world at the time. The Queensferry Crossing, completed in 2017, spans 1.7 miles and is the longest three-tower cable-stayed bridge in the world.

  • Edinburgh - To conclude the tour, our driver will drop you off at your chosen location in Edinburgh. The return drive to Edinburgh, crossing the Queensferry Crossing, takes about an hour.
