Stirling Castle, The Kelpies and Deanston Distillery Private Day Tour

Hotel Pick-up
Your own personal guide will pick you up right outside your hotel, usually arriving 15 minutes before your tour begins, ensuring a warm and seamless start to your experience.

‍

The Kelpies
You'll not be short of sights to see. Silhouetted against the sky, these impressive sculptures are a true tribute to Scotland's myths and legends. You'll hear the tales of how these shape-shifting water creatures haunted the local rivers.

‍

The Wallace Monument
You'll venture further north towards Stirling. Before arriving, you'll pass by a dedication to another famous Scot: William Wallace. Standing proud against the backdrop of Stirling's countryside, the Wallace Monument is a symbol of strength and passion for Scotland. His story has been forever immortalised by the Hollywood film Braveheart, and continues to capture the hearts of people all over the world.

‍

Stirling Castle
You'll be driven right up to the gates, where you can take in a spectacular view over Stirling. Upon entering the castle, you'll be met with costumed characters who will transport you back to 16th-century life, showing you what the castle would have looked like during Mary, Queen of Scots' childhood. Stirling Castle is arguably one of the most significant places in Mary Stewart's history. Aged just nine months, Mary was crowned Queen of Scots — the ceremony was conducted in September 1543 in the Chapel Royal of Stirling Castle, and was the first time the Honours of Scotland were used.

‍

Lunch
Your guide will provide you with a variety of lunch options, ensuring there's something to suit every taste and dietary preference.

Deanston Distillery Tour
Located on the beautiful banks of the River Teith, Deanston is not your average run of the mill whisky distillery. On this tour you’ll get to explore the Distillery and learn about their heritage and explore the craft, the care and the processes that go into creating our uniquely waxy single malt whisky.

‍

Each tour will finish with a two or three dram tasting from Deanston's core range of whiskies in a dedicated tasting area.

‍

During peak times the distillery may be fully booked, or may not run tours at the times that fit with your tour. Should this occur, we would book an alternative tour at a comparable distillery.

‍

Drop-off
Sit back and relax as your personal guide drops you back at your hotel, ensuring a comfortable and hassle-free end to your journey.
