Depart Edinburgh 09.15 and travel northwest through the historic area of Linlithgowshire, close to the historic palace. The tragic Mary Queen of Scots was born at Linlithgow palace, and became Queen when she was only 6 days old. According to legend her father James V died of a broken heart when he discovered his wife had given birth to a daughter and not the son he was hoping for! Your route along the Forth Valley is one which has been used for thousands of years by invading armies, it was the northernmost frontier of the Roman empire and was later used by the English King Edward I as he marched proudly towards Stirling (only to be sent homewards to think again!). Nowadays it’s at the centre of one of Scotland’s most important industries with huge oil refineries dominating the area.
As you approach Stirling the magnificent castle dominates your view and you make your way up towards the high volcanic rock where it imposes itself upon the surrounding land. Known as the ‘Key to Scotland’, for centuries this was the most important castle in Scotland and the views from the top make it easy to see why.
To the north is the 220ft high tower of the National Wallace Monument commemorating Scotland’s great hero William Wallace, played by Mel Gibson in the Oscar-winning movie Braveheart. From the castle you can look down over the scene of Wallace’s greatest triumph, the battle of Stirling Bridge, where he defeated the English army in 1297. To the south is Bannockburn where, in 1314, the great Scottish warrior-king Robert the Bruce defeated the English army of Edward II. The battle was fought for possession of Stirling Castle but eventually led to a far greater prize for Scotland – the restoration of independence. It’s an area alive with history and you stop at the castle to give you time to soak up the history and heritage of this great site.
From Stirling you head into the Highlands and an area known as the Trossachs. Known as ‘The Highlands in Miniature’, it marks the point where the Lowlands meet the Highlands and entering this beautifully picturesque area feels like going into a different country. With its shimmering lochs, rugged mountain tops and forest-filled glens it’s easy to forget that this was once thought of as a dangerous frontier fought over by the fiercely territorial Highland clans. You stop here for lunch in the village of Aberfoyle, made popular in Victorian times due to its great location.
After lunch you ‘take the high road’ or back-road to Loch Lomond, Scotland’s largest lochs at over 22 miles long, passing Lochs Ard, Chon and Arklet along the way as you travel through the protected lands of Scotland’s first National Park. The route you take was described by the famous Scots comedian Billy Connolly as his favourite road in Scotland, and you can discover why – it’s stunning!!
You stop at Inversnaid on the secluded north-east of the loch, making it the perfect place to enjoy a walk along the ‘bonny banks’, up to a viewpoint for a fantastic view of the loch and the mountain it’s named after, Ben Lomond. This tranquil setting was once the home of Scotland’s famous highland folk hero, Rob Roy MacGregor. Made popular by many books and films Rob Roy lived an incredible life as a soldier, businessman, cattle-rustler and outlaw. By spending time on the trails by the loch you will undoubtedly be walking in the footsteps of one of Scotland’s great legends. There is also an alternative option to take a boat cruise around the north of the loch (Summer only) or merely enjoy a drink at the local hotel and sample the views. Leaving Loch Lomond you return to Edinburgh passing Scotland’s only lake – the Lake of Mentieth (although we have around 3000 freshwater lochs!). The legend states that after William Wallace was betrayed by his great friend the Earl of Mentieth and executed in London the name was changed from the Loch of Mentieth to the Lake of Mentieth so that nobody would ever forget the traitorous part the Earl played in his death.

-34%OFF
Die HMS Belfast ist einer der mächtigsten großen leichten Kreuzer, die je gebaut wurden und heute das einzige Schiff siener Art, das während des Zweiten Weltkriegs im aktiven Dienst gewesen ist. Die HMS Belfast spielte eine führende Rolle bei der Zerstörung des Schlachtkreuzers Scharnhorst sowie der Landung in der Normandie. Bis 1965 im Dienste der Royal Navy, wurde sie 1971 für die Nation als einzigartige Erinnerung an das britische Marineerbe gerettet. Launch! Shipbuilding Through the Ages Diese neue, familienorientierte Ausstellung wird praktische und computergestützte interaktive Displays sowie Film- und Filmmaterial nutzen, um Techniken des Schiffbaus vom "Zeitalter des Segels" bis zu modernen Vorfertigungsmethoden zu demonstrieren. Die Ausstellung wird sich mit der Wissenschafts-, Ingenieur- und Sozialgeschichte des Schiffbaus in Großbritannien beschäftigen, und die interaktiven Elemente der Ausstellung werden es Kindern jeden Alters ermöglichen, sich zu engagieren und diese Geschichte zu erleben. Erkunden "Was sollen wir als Gegenleistung für so viel geben?" HMS Belfast ist eines der mächtigsten großen leichten Kreuzer, die je gebaut wurden, und ist nun das einzige überlebende Schiff ihrer Art, das während des Zweiten Weltkriegs aktiven Dienst stand. Während ihrer 32-jährigen Amtszeit spielte sie eine wichtige Rolle sowohl im Zweiten Weltkrieg als auch im Koreakrieg und erfüllte friedenserhaltende Aufgaben in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren. Die HMS Belfast wurde 1971 vor der Zerstörung gerettet und ist heute Teil des Imperial War Museum und das erste Schiff, das seit Nelsons Sieg für die Nation erhalten wurde. Mit seinem Team von Mitarbeitern und Freiwilligen - von denen viele eine erfahrene Crew sind - ist das Imperial War Museum bestrebt, dafür zu sorgen, dass die HMS Belfast immer noch eine Rolle dabei spielt, die Besucher an ihren einzigartigen Platz in Großbritanniens maritimem Erbe zu erinnern. Geschichte der HMS Belfast Der Begriff "Kreuzer" geht auf die Zeit der Segelschiffe zurück, als große Fregatten von der Hauptflotte getrennt werden konnten, um unabhängig zu fahren. Wie ihr Pendant aus dem zwanzigsten Jahrhundert war der Segelkreuzer ausreichend stark und schnell, um feindliche Handelsräuber anzugreifen und zu zerstören. Während des 19. Jahrhunderts, als die Segel dem Dampf Platz machten und hölzerne Schiffe durch Eisen- und später Stahlschiffe ersetzt wurden, entwickelte sich der Kreuzer zu einem mächtigen Kriegsschiff, das die Handelsrouten des Imperiums patrouillierte und die freundliche Handelsschifffahrt schützte. Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg (1914-1918) entstand eine einzige Kategorie von Kreuzern, deren Größe durch die Größe ihrer Geschütze angezeigt wurde; So ist HMS Belfast ein 6-Zoll-Cruiser, der für den Schutz des Handels, für Offensivaktionen und als leistungsstarke Unterstützung für amphibische Operationen konzipiert wurde. Bitte beachten Sie: Kinder unter 16 Jahren müssen von einem Erwachsenen begleitet werden. Bitte planen Sie 1½ - 2 Stunden für Ihren Besuch ein.

Tower Bridge Exhibition Over 100 years ago, the Victorians built a bridge that has become one of London's most famous landmarks. High level walkways were built to allow people to cross the Thames whilst the Bridge was lifted to let tall ships sail past - Tower Bridge Today these Walkways act as viewing galleries, giving visitors the most spectacular views across an ever changing London skyline. Walkways & Exhibition: Visitors enter Tower Bridge Exhibition via the North Tower. They are then transported by lift to the top of the Tower (47 metres above the Thames) where they have a unique opportunity to see the Bridge’s steel skeleton from within. A short film explains the history and provenance of the Bridge and then there is the chance to admire the spectacular views – from both covered Walkways. On the east Walkway there are fantastic views of the Docklands and from the west Walkway you can see the new GLA building, the Tower of London, St Paul’s, the city, the Pool of London and Big Ben and the London Eye in the distance. Interactive computerised kiosks and graphic panels explain the significance of the views to visitors, as well as providing more information on the history and building of the Bridge. The interactive material and graphic panels are written in seven languages and an audio loop for the hard of hearing is also in place for the video show. There is another film to view in the South Tower before descending for the short walk to the historical Engine Rooms, included in your ticket price. Victorian Engine Rooms: These provide a fascinating insight into late 19th century engineering. Installed for the completion of Tower Bridge in 1894, these huge, and beautifully maintained, coal-driven engines were used to power the thousands of bascule Bridge lifts performed until 1976. Although lifts are now operated by electricity, the original steam engines are still in place. The Engine Rooms give visitors a chance to experiment with models demonstrating the technology behind the Bridge. There are also some amazing photographs of Tower BridgeTthroughout its lifetime – including a revealing picture of the heavy steel structure of the Bridge as the stone cladding was installed over it.
