 Situated
where the West Highlands and the Lowlands of Scotland converge, Argyll, the Isles,
Loch Lomond, Stirling
and the Trossachs offer a spectacular range of unique landscapes, histories and
traditions that combine to form the basic fabric of life in Scotland. Striling,
with it’s old town and historic castle overlooking the site of Bravehearts most
famous victory, the Ochil Hills and the marvel of modern engineering that is The
Falkirk Wheel. Fancying a
cruise? Then hop over to Oban and set sail on a Hebridean journey to the Isle
of Mull with its colourful capital, Tobermory – home to Children’s TV favourite,
‘Balamory’. The Trossachs - a small woodland glen lying between Ben An
to the north and Ben Venue to the south, with Loch Katrine to the west and Loch
Achray to the east, is nestled peacefully between a number of quiet lochs and
became a central feature of Sir Walter Scott’s romantic medieval fable, ‘Lady
of the Lake’. The Trossachs are also the stunning homelands of the notorious outlaw
Rob Roy MacGregor. Also worthy of your consideration are the magical Hebridean
islands including the intoxicating whisky Isle of Islay and the equally invigorating
sunsets on the western shores of Kintyre, birthplace of the Scottish nation. Loch
Lomond boasts a rich heritage and plays host to range of modern amenities,
perfect for family holidays, whilst the tranquillity on the Cowal Peninsula can
be savoured on the Isle of Bute, where Rothesay and Dunoon
enjoy an equally impressive choice of family pleasures and two of Scotland’s most
popular seaside resorts. |
