离开爱丁堡，一路向西，途经斯特灵城堡，抵达位于罗蒙湖畔“美丽湖岸”的卢斯保护村，这里是您的第一个短暂停留点。您可以漫步其中，欣赏古朴的房屋和令人惊叹的湖景，并尝试寻找标志性的本罗蒙山。

当你向西穿过被称为阿罗查尔阿尔卑斯山的陡峭山脉，到达“休息与感恩”的绝佳观景点时，景色很快就会变得更加壮观。

从那里出发，您可以前往位于洛赫芬湖畔风景如画的因弗雷里镇。在这里，您可以欣赏建于18世纪的城堡（4月至10月对游客开放），花时间探索小镇，或者前往老监狱。

接下来，您将向北行驶，途中会稍作停留拍照，欣赏基尔赫恩城堡。这座宏伟的城堡遗址坐落在奥湖畔，曾是布雷达尔班坎贝尔家族的宅邸。有人说它被诅咒了，所以最好远观。

随后您将继续穿过卡兰德，越过高地边界断层线，告别高地峭壁。现在是时候参观一处颇负盛名的景点——杜恩城堡了。这座城堡建于600多年前，至今保存完好。您将有时间参观这座堡垒，如果您是《巨蟒与圣杯》、《亡命之徒》或《古战场传奇》的影迷，还可以了解这座城堡曾被用作电影拍摄场地。

在欣赏了一整天神秘的湖泊、迷人的城堡和崎岖的山脉之后，你返回爱丁堡，并在傍晚时分抵达首都。

Leaving Edinburgh, you travel west, past Stirling castle to your first short stop at the conservation village of Luss on the "Bonnie, Bonnie Banks" of Loch Lomond. Wander around taking in its quaint houses and stunning views across the loch and try to spot the iconic Ben Lomond.

The scenery will soon become more dramatic as you travel west through the steep-sided mountains known as the Arrochar Alps to the great viewpoint at 'Rest and Be Thankful'.

From there, you head to the picturesque town of Inveraray on the shores of Loch Fyne. Here you can admire the 18th-century castle (open to visitors April until October), take time to explore the town, or head to the Old Jail.

Next, you travel north and have a photo stop to admire Kilchurn Castle, a magnificent ruin situated on the edge of Loch Awe and former home of the Campbells of Breadalbane. Some say it's cursed, so it's better if you admire it from a distance.

You then continue through Callander and cross the Highland Boundary Fault Line leaving behind the Highland crags. It's time to visit quite a famous site - Doune Castle. It was built over 600 years ago and is still in great condition. You'll have time to visit the stronghold and if you're a fan of Monty Python and The Holy Grail, The Outlaw King, or the Outlander series, you can learn about how the castle was used as a filming set.

After a day full of views of mysterious lochs, charming castles, and rugged mountains, you make your way back to Edinburgh and arrive in the capital in the early evening.

* As Inveraray Castle may be sometimes closed, please refer to their website to see their availability.
