Description

Leaving from Edinburgh, we head northwest towards our first stop at The Kelpies. Located in The Helix park near Falkirk, approximately 40 minutes from Edinburgh. These 30-meter horse-head sculptures pay tribute to Scotland's industrial and mythical heritage, representing the water spirits known as kelpies from Scottish folklore. They are an impressive example of public art and engineering excellence, drawing visitors with their remarkable size and symbolism. We continue northwest to the village of Luss, situated on the western shore of Loch Lomond. Known for its charming cottages and stunning views of the loch, Luss offers a tranquil setting for a leisurely stroll along the shore and through the village. A short drive from Luss brings you to Tarbet, another picturesque village on Loch Lomond's shores. Tarbet serves as a gateway to the Arrochar Alps and offers scenic views of the loch and surrounding hills. It's an ideal spot for photography enthusiasts and those Insta pics!
