Central Scotland Vacation Packages


Central Scotland covers the dramatic regions of Stirling and the Troussards (Trossachs), Perthshire, and Fife. The mainland strip, north of the crowded Glasgow-Edinburgh urban area, and south of the principle swathe of Highlands, showcases the country's splendor. Replete with steely blue lochs reflecting soaring, fortress-like craggy peaks, ancient woodlands, and serving as the backdrop to some of the most important events in Scottish history; visitors can relax with a drink in any of the innumerable long-established pubs after an exhausting day spent exploring the region.

Significant ruins and castles are built upon the sandy soils of Central Scotland, remaining sentinels of the deeply rooted, notorious, Scottish pride. Along with tourist favorites Stirling Castle, the Wallace Monument, and Cambuskenneth Abbey, the area extends to the majestic Troussards, full of archetypal Scottish scenery. The green pine forests, and the shores of Loch Lomond, inspired great writer Sir Walter Scott to pen his celebrated poem 'The Lady of the Lake.' This wild paradise forms the base of Scotland's first national park, popular for walking, mountaineering, wildlife safaris, and, in particular, cycling. The area also includes the small, tranquil towns of Strathyre, Dunblane, Balquhidder, and the coastal towns of Argyll, Bute, Inveraray, Bowmore, Campbeltown, Garelochhead, and Dunoon.
