Continue to Callander. After a short coffee stop, cross the Highland boundary fault line leaving the rolling farms for the wild mountains and forests of the Highlands.
After a short stop at Loch Luibnaig, continue over the Braes of Balquhidder, the final resting place of Highland outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor. Made famous by Sir Walter Scott, Rob Roy was a sort of Highland Robin Hood, he stole from the rich, but never quite got round to giving it to the poor.

Continue along the banks of Loch Awe through Campbell country to the picturesque town of Inveraray on the shores of Loch Fyne.

You can also take time to explore the town and maybe call at the Old Jail or the maritime museum, the Arctic Penguin.
Drive up through the steep-sided mountains known as the Arrochar Alps to the great viewpoint at 'Rest and Be Thankful'.
Skirt around Loch Long and down to the Bonnie, Bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. This is Scotland's largest loch and it takes its name from the mountain Ben Lomond on the eastern shore.
Make a short stop at the conservation village of Luss, with its quaint houses and stunning views across the loch.
Depart for Edinburgh, with a short photo stop near the Stirling Castle.
