- Hike to the Devil's Pulpit through a gorge that feels like a fantasy realm.
- Bring a ribbon to Fairy Knowe and make a wish on a tree.
- Drive one of Scotland's most scenic drives at the Duke's Pass through the Trossachs.
Scotland's myths and legends are etched in the landscape, and this 2-day route takes you through the Trossachs National Park where moss-covered ravines, thundering waterfalls and forests feel like they belong in a fae realm. Stopping to hike across some of central Scotland's most impressive scenery, discover the legend of Bonnie Prince Charlie's cave, the story behind the Devil's Pulpit and stop in the fictional town of Cranesmuir from Outlander (aka Culross). Overnight in Aberfoyle, surrounded by fairy-filled woodland, and drive Duke's Pass, one of Scotland's most scenic roads, through the Trossachs on the second day.
