Scotland – Winter Warmer at The Winnock

5 days, Monday 12^th – Friday 16^th January

Staying at the Winnock Arms- Drymen

Once again, we start the new year at the Winnock Arms at Drymen which is close to Loch Lomond.  This is an inclusive package, which includes free bar on selected drinks between 1930 and 2200.  This traditional run hotel is renowned for its roaring log fires and entertainment programme and is the perfect place to be on a cold winters evening.

Our Itinerary

Day 1   After your doorstep collection, we join our coach and travel north over the border into Scotland with refreshment stops to our hotel in Drymen, east of Loch Lomond for dinner and 4 nights stay.

Day 2    After a hearty Scottish breakfast we travel firstly to Balmaha before continuing to view the Trossachs pier at Loch Katrine.  Loch Katrine is full of history; it was the birthplace of clan leader and later outlaw Rob Roy McGregor. For over 160 years, Loch Katrine has provided a fresh water supply for Glasgow and much of west and central Scotland.  We later travel via Brig O Turk to the pretty town of Callander.  The town lies immediately south of the Highland Boundary Fault which is historically a meeting point between the Highlands and the Lowlands before returning to our hotel in time for dinner.

Day 3   A full day again today as we follow the shores of Loch Lomond to the Green Welly visitor centre before enjoying a country run to Loch Fyne and the traditional county town of Inverary.

Day 4   Today we drive to the city of Glasgow.  Glasgow is a port city on the River Clyde in Scotland’s western lowlands. It’s famed for its Victorian and art nouveau architecture, a rich legacy of the city’s 18th–20th-century prosperity due to trade and shipbuilding. Today it’s a national cultural hub, home to institutions including the Scottish Opera, Scottish Ballet and National Theatre of Scotland.

Day 5   After a leisurely full Scottish breakfast, we depart our hotel and travel south making comfort stops on the way before joining our exclusive door to door service to your home.
