Here we will have time to have a cruise on the SS Sir Walter Scott Steamship named after the famous Sir Walter Scott who was so inspired by the Loch’s beauty wrote the Lady of the Lake in 1810, it has also inspired William Wordsworth and Samuel Coleridge.

Located on the Highland Boundary Fault Line the division between the Highlands and Lowlands, Glengoyne’s stills are in the Highlands, while maturing casks of whisky rest across the road in the Lowlands.

After a visit the shop we will make our way to the western shore of Loch Lomond and onto the village of Luss legend has it that it takes its name from an adaptation of the French for the heraldic flower The Iris or Fleur de Lys, here you can wander down to the pier for beautiful views of Loch Lomond or visit the 19th Century parish church to see the Victorian Stained Glass Windows, we will continue west along the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond to the Pyramid Viewpoint known as An Ceann Mor where you can climb up to get fantastic views down Loch Lomond and across to Inversnaid we then continue to the Falls of Falloch a 30 foot waterfall also known as Rob Roy’s Bath, it is here where Rob Roy McGregor is said to have come to take a bath.

 We next continue north through the village of Crainlarich, the name comes from the Gaelic for “Low Pass” two military roads met here one from Dumbarton which followed Loch Lomond and one from Callander through Glen Dochart.
