LOCH KATRINE CRUISE

& ARDGATY RED KITES (FULL DAY) - Take a cruise on the beautiful Loch Katrine. A majestic sight within the Trossachs National Park, Loch Katrine is said to be the birthplace of Scottish tourism. Afterwards, sit down for a light lunch beside the water at The Lochside Café. Finally, on our return, we visit the Argaty Red Kites, central Scotland's only red kite feeding station, where you can watch these majestic birds soar, swoop, and dive from a hidden hide!

DRYMEN

(FREE DAY) - The village of Drymen sits in the hills at the western end of the Campsie Fells, overlooking the Endrick Water as it nears Loch Lomond. This beautiful little village is a great base to explore Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park - the oldest National Park in Scotland.

SEABIRD DISCOVERY

CENTRE, WILDLIFE CRUISE & THE KELPIES (FULL DAY) - We begin our day at the award-winning Scottish Seabird Centre in North Berwick. Situated on the harbour, it's home to almost half of Europe's seabirds. Next, all board our wildlife cruise to Bass Rock and Craigleith Cliffs - this unforgettable trip will take you closer than ever to puffins, grey seals and gannets in their natural habitat. Finally, enjoy a short stop at The Kelpies, the world's grandest equine sculpture, before we return to our hotel.

MOUNTAIN SAFARI

(FULL DAY) - Camera and binoculars at the ready - we're heading on a mountain safari! Travelling through the Perthshire highlands, experience breathtaking views, majestic wildlife, and so much more: there will be no shortage of photo opportunities. Our final experience today will include getting close to Britain's largest native land mammal - the magnificent Red Deer.
