Day 1
We depart in the morning, arriving at the Riverside Lodge Hotel, Irvine. 5 nights stay - dinner, bed and breakfast. Hotel entertainment will be provided on three evenings during your stay. Tea/coffee and biscuits on arrival.
Day 2
This morning we make the short journey to Ardrossan where we board the morning sailing for the Isle of Arran. The crossing takes around 55 minutes and on arrival in Brodick, the island's main town, we have time to obtain lunch and have a look around. We have a short sightseeing tour of the island before we catch the return afternoon sailing to Ardrossan.
Day 3
A complete contrast today as we head into Glasgow and visit the superb newly opened Riverside Glasgow Transport Museum. Afterwards we have free time in Glasgow, returning later to the hotel.
Day 4
Our day begins with a drive south along the Ayrshire coast through Troon to Ayr, a popular holiday resort. We have time here for a look around the town and maybe a seafront stroll, to obtain lunch before we continue for a visit to spectacular Culzean Castle and Country Park, in a stunning clifftop location near Turnberry. The castle offers much of interest, with terraced gardens, woodland, ponds, wildlife garden, walled garden and deer park.
Day 5
Leaving the hotel we head across the Erskine Bridge and head along the north of the river to Helensburgh for a short break. From here we continue along Gare Loch and Loch Long to Arrochar and to Tarbet, on the banks of Loch Lomond. We stop at Lomond Shores complex with chance to obtain lunch and browse the shops before we leave for Balloch. Here we have a cruise on Loch Lomond and later we make our way back over the bridge.
Day 6
After breakfast we leave and begin our homeward journey.
