Begin your leisurely, half-day exploration of the bonny, bonny banks of Loch Lomond at your pier where you will board a comfortable motorcoach. Accompanied by a friendly and knowledgeable guide you will set forth on a scenic drive through the ruggedly beautiful Scottish landscape.
During your journey, be sure to have your cameras at the ready as you cross Erskine Bridge with distant views of Glasgow. Visit the picturesque village of Luss located on the west shore of Loch Lomond. In Gaelic, lus means plant or herb, and the village in spring and summer is a riot of color from roses and wildflowers. Stroll through the village to view its stone cottages and enjoy the opportunity to peruse its quaint shops for souvenirs. Or walk out onto the pier to marvel at the awe-inspiring beauty of Loch Lomond, the second largest freshwater lake in Scotland.
Your scenic drive continues as you travel along nearly the entire length of this breathtaking loch, famed in song and legend and renowned for its loveliness and tranquility. Take in the wonder of this pristine lake dotted with islands on its southern end, resembling a fjord at its northern end and offering picture postcard views around every corner.
Enjoy a brief stop to take in the stunning panoramas of Highland Glens and Mountains at Rest and Be Thankful overlook, so named for the words inscribed on a nearby stone by soldiers who built the military road in 1753.
From Loch Lomond travel along the glistening waters of Loch Eck and Holy Loch en route to the village of Hunters Quay where you will board a ferry and cross the River Clyde. From there you will complete you journey of discovery with a brief drive to Greenock and to your Princess ship in the harbor there) , After:(23 juillet 2011 - 13h15-17h30 - Glasgow Luss & Loch Lomond Drive 89 GR3290B Glasgow Greenock, Scotland Begin your le | © Marcel Walter Landry | Fichier: glassgowcarte.jpg
