it's a great trip to go in Scotland. you might skip cruise in Loch Lomond if you are taking the same in Loch Ness. but do take a cruise in 1 of the both (Loch Ness is a different trip though). Kelpies are great and Stirling Castle is amazing. do take the guided tour in Stirling. you will enjoy as the time to explore is sufficient at all the 3 spots.

It was a great trip to enjoy the Highlands and the cruise. Despite the long distance travel, there was sufficient stops for toilet and to stretch ourselves. I learned a lot of Scottish history from David who was a great guide and driver.

Philip was a great tourguide for us! He literally brings us to other scenery places for a stop, taking extra pictures for us making it an unbelievable experience. He makes sure that our pictures still gets the sun. He is friendly and fun telling all sorts of stories along the way. Really recommend it
