This is a great example of the personalised tours we can create:
We had a request from one of our clients to provide fresh oysters caught that day, so within hours we
arranged a tour for them to visit the Loch in which they are caught to enjoy the freshest Oysters available in
Scotland!

Stirling castle
Perched high upon a mighty rock, it was here the kings and queens of Scotland held magnificent
feasts and celebrations. Royal stronghold, palace of pleasures, regimental garrison – Stirling
Castle has played many roles. And on the sweeping plains beneath its ramparts great medieval
armies clashed to decide the fate of nations. Here we will take you for a tour round this
spectacular castle.
Loch Lomond
Loch Lomond has the largest surface area of fresh water in the UK. On the Loch there are
approximately 38 Islands, some of them inhabited. Loch Lomond one of the world’s most
famous Loch’s and has been much written about, both in song and verse. The area is
renowned for its beauty and tranquillity and offers picture postcard views around every
corner.
Cairndow
The village of Cairndow lies in an idyllic setting at the head of Loch Fyne near the mouth of the River
Kinglas. In the centre of the village is the Stagecoach Inn which is one of the oldest coaching inns in
Scotland. Travellers have been fed and rested here for many centuries. Notable visitors include
Queen Victoria in 1875, Dorothy Wordsworth, sister of the famous poet, and by the poet Keats.
At the south end of the village lies Kilmorich Parish Church which was built in 1820. The church is
one of only two in Scotland to be built with an interesting hexagonal shape and is very
picturesque in its surroundings. Ardkinglas Estate and Woodland Garden is home to several
"Champion Trees" including the mightiest conifer in Britain.

honest approach to superb quality food. They ensure that only the very best produce –
farmed and fished to the highest quality and environmental standards.
