Encapsulating Central Scotland and the rugged West Coast, Argyll, The Isles, Loch Lomond, Stirling and Trossach is a vast expanse of wild mountainous landscapes carved by sea lochs and long narrow fresh water lochs that capture the essence of Scotland’s romantic scenery. This region of many contrasts is one of the most popular UK and Global destinations for both long-term vacations and short breaks, attracting millions of overseas visitors each year.

Steeped in history and home to a rich plethora of historical gems, Stirling and its surrounding areas is where William Wallace, The Braveheart won his battle for Scottish Independence at the Battle of Bannockburn, situated in the outskirts of the city. Aptly referred to as Braveheart Country, evidence of Stirling’s and Scotland’s tumultuous past can be found today at the Bannockburn Heritage Site and The Wallace Monument, both within easy reach of Glasgow and Edinburgh. As Scotland’s newest city, Stirling nestles in the Forth Valley and strikes the perfect balance between contemporary cosmopolitan chic with ancient buildings, cobbled streets and Stirling Castle, towering majestically above Stirling’s Old Town. Boasting excellent provision of first-class entertainment, events and ulitame shopping, Stirling is an idyllic destination for an alternative city break, offering an equally energetic affair like its Glasgow and Edinburgh counterparts.

To the west of Stirling, Loch Lomond and The Trossachs, now designated as a National Park in 2002, offers unspoilt scenery and picturesque villages dispersed throughout. The 23 mile-long loch is the largest fresh water lake in mainland Britain and serves as an idyllic, romantic hideaway for daytrips, short breaks and vacations at world-class hotels overlooking its shores. This stunning region is a combination of fertile lowlands merging dramatically with awe-inspiring Highland landscapes and wilderness in its northern reaches, ideal for outdoors and water sports enthusiasts. To appreciate and view Loch Lomond from a different perspective, why not embark on a Loch Cruise or Speed Boat Adventure, assuring to enchant you in every sense.

At the western edge of this enchanting region of many contrasts, Oban, Argyll and The Isles is an excellent destination to savour culinary Scottish delights such as fresh Loch Fyne Oysters and Smoked Salmon being the favourite delicacies of the area. The town of Oban with its imposing McCaig’s Folly is the principal focal point of Argyll and The Isles having regular ferry services to The Isle of Mull, Tiree, Coll and Colonsay. Mull, the largest of The Inner Hebridean Islands is a paradise for wildlife and nature lovers where you can marvel at the sights of bottle-nosed dolphins, grey and common seals and even killer whales if you are lucky. The colourful cavalcade of buildings of Tobermory in Mull has experienced an insurgence of visitors in recent times, thanks to the popular children’s TV series Balamory and provides an excellent base for touring the isle of Mull or embarking on a trip to Iona where Celtic Christianity was founded. Whether you have a penchant for fine cuisine, outdoor activities or ancient sites, Argyll, The Isles, Loch Lomond, Stirling and Trossachs offers a multitude of activities, world-class accommodation and places of interest for the discerning visitor.
