Drymen is an attractive village located in the beautiful Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. The park consists of 40 mountains ranging from 2500ft to over 3000ft, 22 lochs, 50 rivers and two forest parks - the Argyll Forest Park and the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park. The Campsie Fells hills are to the west of Drymen, a range of volcanic hills which hosts a variety of farmland, open moors, steep-flanked glens, attractive woodland and sparkling burns. The lovely village boasts spectacular views of Dumgoyne to the east and is just a short way from Loch Lomond to the west. It is the perfect base to explore Scotland with Stirling and Glasgow just a short drive away. With all the natural features it is no wonder hundreds of tourists' flood to the park every year.

Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Depart Local Area
After boarding your luxury coach, we travel north with comfort stops en-route. Still heading north, we cross the border into Scotland and head to Drymen and the Winnock Hotel where we will spend the next 4 nights' half board. On arrival there is porterage, and cases are taken up to our rooms. Evening dinner is a three course, three choice menu. Free bar from 7.30- 10.30pm each evening, house brands.
Day 2: Loch Lomond & Inveraray
Today we explore the West side of Loch Lomond and take the breathtaking route over the 'Rest and be Thankful' to the Royal Burgh of Inveraray, which enjoys a picturesque setting on the shores of Loch Fyne, where it meets Loch Shira. It was built on the site of an earlier fishing village in the mid 1700's by the 3rd Duke of Argyll, chief of the powerful Clan Campbell. He demolished the original village to give his rebuilt castle more space, and rehoused the population in a new town that is one of the most attractive in Scotland. Here you can explore the town or visit the Jail House. Later we return to the hotel.
Day 3: Edinburgh Military Tattoo
Today we leave for Edinburgh. You will have time to shop or explore and have lunch before the given time to return for the Tattoo performance. Their story began seven decades ago and had humble beginnings. It was inspired by a simple show called 'Something About a Soldier' performed in 1949 at the Ross Bandstand. The bandstand is still there, in Princes Street Gardens just below the castle. Make sure to look out for it when you visit. Lieutenant Colonel George Malcolm was the first producer of the Edinburgh Tattoo. He aimed to bring the Army's contribution to the Edinburgh International Festival to life. From a modest event in a park to today's global showcase at the castle. After the Tattoo you will board the coach where we will then return to the hotel.
Day 4: Stirling Castle
After breakfast, we set off for Stirling Castle. Stirling Castle is one of Scotland's most historically important sites and was once a favoured residence of the Stewart kings and queens who held grand celebrations at the castle.
Day 5: Depart for Home
After all the suitcases have been packed and loaded onto the coach, we leave our hosts at the Winnock Hotel and head for home. With comfort stops on the way, we arrive back at your local area early evening.
