我們離開格拉斯哥,一路向北,穿過寧靜的鄉村,前往斯特靈,追尋着古代入侵軍隊的足跡。這片土地曾是羅馬帝國的最北端邊境,並在蘇格蘭獨立戰爭期間遭受過攻擊。
當我們接近斯特靈時,雄偉的城堡便映入眼簾。這座堡壘坐落在高聳的火山岩上,被譽爲“蘇格蘭之鑰”,見證了蘇格蘭歷史上許多轉折點的戰役。您可以參觀城堡,瞭解它的過往,探尋皇家宮廷的祕密。或者,您也可以在城堡外欣賞美景,漫步於迷人的鵝卵石老城。
接下來,我們將前往高地,來到著名的洛蒙德湖和特羅薩克斯國家公園。這裏遍佈波光粼粼的湖泊、崎嶇的山峯和森林覆蓋的峽谷。這裏曾是羅布·羅伊等亡命之徒藏身的理想之地。聆聽這位傳奇民間英雄的故事,欣賞周圍壯麗的自然風光,然後在風景如畫的阿伯福伊爾享用午餐。午餐後,我們將繼續前往美麗的洛蒙德湖畔,湖畔羣山環繞,點綴着30多個島嶼。您可以選擇參加一小時的遊船之旅,從不同的角度欣賞湖泊美景,聆聽當地野生動物的故事,或者徒步探索這片區域。回到陸地後,在啓程返回格拉斯哥之前,最後再欣賞一下湖泊和國家公園的景色。您將於下午6點左右抵達格拉斯哥。
We leave Glasgow and travel north through the gentle countryside to
Stirling, following in the footsteps of the ancient invading armies. This land was the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire and was under attack during the Wars of Scottish Independence.
As we approach Stirling, you spot the magnificent castle. Perched on the high volcanic rock, this stronghold is known as the 'Key to Scotland', and it's witnessed battles that were turning points in Scottish history. You can learn about its past and discover the secrets of the royal court when you visit. Alternatively, you can admire the views of the castles from outside and explore the charming, cobbled old town.
Next, we travel into the Highlands to an area known as Loch Lomond & the
Trossachs National Park. This land is full of shimmering lochs, rugged mountain tops, and forest-filled glens. And it used to be a perfect place for outlaws like Rob Roy to hide. Hear the tale of this fascinating folk hero and enjoy the magnificent nature all around you before you stop for lunch in picturesque Aberfoyle. Afterward, we continue to the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, framed by majestic mountains and dotted with over 30 islands. Join an optional hour-long cruise here to admire the loch from a different angle and to hear stories of local wildlife or enjoy discovering the area on foot.
Back on dry land, cast a last glance at the loch and the national park before you start your return journey to Glasgow.
You return to Glasgow at approximately 6pm.
