Pre- and post-tour accommodation in Stirling

Advantages of pre- and post-tour accommodation in the Stirling, Falkirk, Dunfermline, Gleneagles (Heart of the Scottish Central belt) area

• Morning pick up advantages: Avoiding the daily rush hour grind out of central Edinburgh, by starting your Highlands, Lowlands and Islands tour in the Stirling & Scottish Central belt area, you gain an extra 1.5 hours bonus quality time for you to enjoy & experience your tour, whereas tour guests being picked up from central Edinburgh have to endure a gruelling 1.5 hour rush hour journey to get out of Edinburgh first
• Evening drop off advantages: Avoiding the daily rush hour grind back into central Edinburgh, by finishing and ending your Highlands, Lowlands and Islands tour in the Stirling & Scottish Central belt area, you gain an extra 1.5 hours bonus quality time for you to enjoy & experience your tour, whereas tour guests being picked up from central Edinburgh have to endure a gruelling 1.5 hour rush hour journey to get out of Edinburgh first.
• On a day tour, that is a massive whopping extra 3 hours you gain for your tour to experience, explore and discover beautiful places along your tour

 

On a private tour we are able to pick you up from anywhere, including central Edinburgh, but just keep in mind by choosing an Edinburgh pick up and drop off for example on a private 1 day tour, it is you who chooses to remove 3 valuable hours off your your tour experience and adding 3 hours being stuck in the rush hour traffic instead

 

If you wish to travel the night before your tour to the Stirling & Scottish Central belt area, there are regular Scotrail

half-hourly and more train connections (which by the way are a lot faster in and out of Edinburgh than being stuck in a car/bus in and out of the crawling Edinburgh big city rush hour) from Edinburgh and Glasgow to Stirling, Falkirk, Dunfermline & Gleneagles in the heart of the Scottish Central belt.
