Aberfoyle Explorer

Aberfoyle sits at the very heart of the Trossachs — a landscape of ancient forests, shimmering lochs and the rolling hills that inspired the legend of Rob Roy MacGregor, who was born and buried in this extraordinary corner of Scotland. This five-day break takes you deep into the most beautiful and peaceful parts of this magnificent region.

Loch Katrine is one of the most beautiful and tranquil lochs in all of Scotland — a long, island-dotted stretch of water that supplied drinking water to Glasgow for over 150 years. A cruise on Loch Katrine, drifting past the wooded hillsides and rocky shores in near-perfect silence, is one of the finest natural experiences in Scotland.

Inchmahome Priory, on its island in the Lake of Menteith — the only lake (as opposed to loch) in Scotland — is one of the most atmospheric and romantic ruins in the country. The priory dates from the 13th century and once gave shelter to the young Mary Queen of Scots. A short ferry crosses to the island and the sense of peace and history is profound. The spectacular Kelpies at Helix Park complete a remarkable Scottish itinerary.
