Edinburgh: The Kelpies, Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond & Trossachs
Overview
Your first stop is The Kelpies, two iconic 30-metre-high horse-head sculptures near Falkirk that celebrate Scotland's industrial heritage and the mythical water spirits of Scottish folklore.

Explore its magnificent halls and royal apartments, discover the stories of Mary, Queen of Scots and William Wallace, and take in panoramic views from its hilltop setting.
