This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop at: The Kelpies
The 30 metre high Kelpies are truly a sight to behold for the first stop of this amazing tour. These hand-crafted stainless steel structures gleam in the sun of the River Carron; just like the shape-shifting spirits they depict. Please note: these statues are absolutely callosal, so have your cameras at the ready!

Next Stop: Culross
As we approach our next stop, you wouldn’t be wrong to think that you’ve stepped back in time!
The quaint village of Culross was founded in the 6th century on the banks of the Firth of Forth and boasts streets and streets of beautifully preserved buildings, squares and gardens; including the 16th century Culross Palace, the village hall, rows of fishermen’s cottages, and of course the historic Mercat Cross. If you’re wanting to explore some of the best preserved examples of historic living in Scotland, Culross is the place to do it!

Next Stop: Crieff
Today however, Crieff is much more recognised for being the home of Scotlands oldest registered distillery, Glenturret. Or you could even borrow a book from Innerpeffray Library – founded in 1680, it’s Scotland’s oldest lending library! Crieff is a stop everyone will love.

Final Stop: Dunkeld
It seems we’ve saved the best till last with our final stop arriving at the beautiful 18th century town of Dunkeld. The historic site offers much to see and do, including Dunkeld Cathedral, The Cross marketplace, the quaint boutique stores of Brae Street and Atholl Street, and of course when the timing’s right; the Highland Games too! This stop is packed with amazing history; like did you know that William Shakespeare has a famous link with the area? Discover more with a visit to Dunkeld!
