Stirling Castle · Kilmahog · Aberfoyle · Loch Lomond
Off the ship at Greenock for Stirling Castle, the Trossachs and Loch Lomond.
For passengers docking at Greenock, this day gets you out of the city and into the hills. It visits Stirling Castle, then drives through the Trossachs National Park by Kilmahog to Aberfoyle for lunch, and finishes with a walk on the shore of Loch Lomond before heading back to the ship. It runs on the days ships are in port, and the timings are set around them.
The places it stops at, in order. Routes can change with the weather and the traffic.
