We woke up early to get to the bus tour that we would be embarking on that day. We arrived to our pick-up site completely opposite to regular van der Veen fashion, early! Our guide, a very small eccentric storyteller, greeted us in-front of a bar located in a quaint part of old Edinburgh. The 9-hour trip took us through some of the attractions of Southern Scotland.

Our first stop was Stirling castle. Most interesting was the view of the Wallace Monument and the real story of William Wallace, told to us by the bus driver / guide.

The next stop was Loch Lomond in the Trossachs. Our tour guide, with his wealth of information and terrific flair for story telling, told us the story of why Lakes are called lochs in Scotland. Loch Lomond was a beautiful body of water.

We finished the tour with a coffee and a short ride back to Edinburgh.
