Loch Lomond

Glengoyne Distillery

If you are ever in Edinburgh get on the Heart of Scotland Tours. Our driver was Bill, he if I must say after meeting Hamish the Hairy Highland Cow looked very similar. Bill was most amusing and very knowledgeable about stories and history of Scotland. We left Edinburgh about 9am and heading to Stirling. Along the way Bill told the story of William Wallace and the important figures and events surrounding this time. After Stirling Castle we headed to see Hamish for 5 mins then on the road again towards Loch Lomond. Unfortunately due to road works we had to take a diversion. What ever the road was this one was ok. After a drive through Rob Roy country and the story about the infamous man and his adventures we had a brief stop at the Loch then it was onto Glengoyne Distillery. A nice wee tour and a sweet taste of a single malt wiskey certainly made the end of the journey exciting.
