See the Scottish landscape like never before as you pass historic towns and pretty villages following the riverbanks of Allan Water.

On leaving Stirling, look out for the Wallace Memorial on its hill to the right and to the left you’ll see the broad Upper Forth Valley framed by the rugged landscape of the Highland Peaks. Make time to explore the historic town of Dunblane with its ancient cathedral and museums. Gleneagles is set in picturesque countryside and boasts plenty of walking options into the glens and peaks of the Ochils.
