2.Full-Day Highland Lochs Glens and Castles Tour from Edinburgh

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 256 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $87

Highland lochs and castles day trip from Edinburgh. See Doune, Inveraray, Kilchurn, Rest and Be Thankful, and Loch Lomond stops with a driver-guide.

“Cameron was an excellent tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about Scottish landscapes, culture, and overall history! The road up to Doune castle was frozen over so we had to take it off the itinerary. That was a bummer since I was very excited about it but we went to see the kelpies statue instead which was interesting. It’s a great tour to consider so you can see parts of Scotland you’d never see without a car! Stunning views of the countryside, highly recommend.”
