We enjoy a scenic drive via Callander to view the magnificent Falls of Dochart at Killin. Located at the western end of Loch Tay the falls can be viewed from the village's bridge where we can admire the misty spray and crashing white waters that flow around the Islands of Inch Buie, known locally as the ancient burial site of Clan McNab.

This morning, after a full Scottish breakfast, we head to Falkirk, and the iconic Falkirk Wheel. The wheel is the World's only rotating Boat lift which connects the Forth & Clyde and the Union Canals. You will make the ascent and the descent through the wheel and view this wonderful feat of engineering, with the whole trip lasting about one hour. You will be able to embrace panoramic views and enjoy a relaxing sail along the aqueduct and canal.

The majestic castle towers over the whole city, and the medieval Old Town and elegant Georgian New Town sit side by side. Princes Street is home to city centre shopping, and there are plenty of restaurants and cafés to enjoy where you can sit and watch the world go by!
