TROSSACHS
WITH LOCH CRUISE & RED KITE ENCOUNTER (FULL DAY): We enjoy a cruise on Lake Katrine - set in the centre of The Trossachs National Park, Queen Victoria famously sailed up the fresh-water loch in 1869. Afterwards we sit down for a light lunch at The Lochside Café, before continuing the journey to see the majestic Red Kites up close from a "hide" at Argaty Red Kites, the only red kite feeding station in Scotland.
DRYMEN
(FULL 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. There will be a free day to explore this beautiful little village which is the location of our hotel and is a great base to explore the Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park - the oldest National Park in Scotland.
SEA CRUISE SAFARI
(FULL DAY): We begin our day at the award-winning Scottish Seabird Centre, in North Berwick. Situated on the harbour, it is home to almost half of all of Europe's seabirds. We have also arranged a cruise to Bass Rock and Craigleith Cliffs - This unforgettable trip will take you closer than ever before to puffins, grey seals and gannets all in their natural habitat. On our way back to the hotel, we enjoy a short stop at The Kelpies, the world's largest equine sculptures.
MOUNTAIN SAFARI
(FULL DAY): Armed with your cameras and binoculars, we head to the Perthshire highlands for a mountain safari. Climb aboard as we pass through a land sculptured by the elements and steeped in breath taking views with no shortage of photo opportunities. You will also have the chance to come face to face with Britain's largest native land mammal - the majestic Red Deer and feed them in the safety of our Safari Ranger.
