Our first stop can be found only a short drive from either Glasgow or Edinburgh, and is the home of the coveted Old Church of St Kentigern. The intriguing ruins of this historically important medieval chapel are believed to be the site of legendary knight William Wallace’s marriage to his wife Marion Braidfute in the 13th century. The surrounding cemetery serves as a burial ground for many Covenanters; a nationally important movement with ties to the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. Hear more about William and his family roots in Lanark, a landscape that changed the face of Scotland forever.
The legend of William Wallace, his life, death and marriage, began between the now ruined walls of the Old Church of St Kentigern; our first stop!
Scotland has been recognised for years as the home of world-leading textile production, none so evident than at the UNESCO New Lanark Mill. Founded by Scottish industrialist David Dale in 1786, the mill played host a nouveau socialist experiment into urban planning at the hands of his son-in-law Robert Owen. He greatly improved the conditions and social lifestyle of the mill providing housing, schools and healthcare for the workers there.
Exploring New Lanark is like stepping into a time machine, with the site’s protected status perfectly preserving much of the factory, homes and infrastructure implemented in Robert Owen’s utopian vision. An insight into the full force of Victorian industrialisation has never been so clear!
Scotland was the powerhouse of the Industrial Revolution, an era made iconic by a wave of new ideologies – none more prevalent than the factories of New Lanark.
You didn’t think of visiting Scotland without stopping over at a waterfall did you? Being TRIPorganiser, we’ve naturally brought you to the best! The Falls of Clyde are actually a collection of waterfall’s, or linns as we call them here in Scotland. Corra Linn is the highest, measuring an impressive 84 feet high, and when it’s at full spate, sends the sound of mother nature crashing across the landscape. Despite this, the falls are an incredibly peaceful place, and also stunningly beautiful too!
The Falls of Clyde are actually part of a wider park called the Clyde Valley Woodlands National Nature Reserve, which serves as the ideal habitat for Scottish wildlife, and if you’re lucky and have your eyes peeled, you could come face to face badgers, roe deer, otters, kingfishers and over 100 native species of birds; including a beautiful pair of peregrine falcons. However, in October 2011, an extremely rare pine marten was spotted inside the reserve, so that’s what we’re on the hunt for every time we visit!
If you’re looking for a unique insight into Scottish flora and fauna, you’re going to love this stop!
The Falls of Clyde are an impressive collection of waterfalls inside one of Scotland’s most coveted nature reserves. Have your cameras at the ready!

Please refer to our T&Cs with regards to cancellation and refund policies.
Our tours are always privately tailored to you. And the pricing is staggered with the amount of people attending. Please add the required number of people to see the price of your chosen tour. Also check out our advertised Tours of the Months for special discounts.
Normally since we have been in touch with you prior to the tour we should recognise you and you would not need to bring a receipt of booking. If we do however need for you to show a receipt (in case it’s one of our tour guides doing your tour) we let you know specifically beforehand to print or make sure you’d be able to show your confirmation digitally.
Anything that is listed as “included” is included in the price. But if you would like to visit any additional attractions for example you would have to pay those separately on entrance. Same applies to meals which are not mentioned in the “included” section.
Our luxury Mercedes Van comfortably sits 7 people. But if you are intending to bring luggage or if you’re intending to do a multi-day tour we suggest to reduce the group size to 4-5 people.
We can however always accommodate bigger groups as Sean has the licence to drive bigger vehicles – or we can ask our colleague to tandem up with us and we separate the group into two of the same vans. His van can sit 6 people.
For a day tour – just make sure you bring adequate clothing and shoe wear to accommodate for weather changes and outdoor conditions if necessary. If you want to have your personal lunch picnic – please bring that as well.
We provide bottled water and we have one child seat if needed.
For an extended tour – we’ll provide you with a longer list of confirmation documents you may need and a more extensive packing list.
British weather is always changing – so the rule is to dress with the “onion principle” – have as many layers as possible to quickly adjust to temperature changes and have appropriate clothing ready for wet & dry weather. If you like to go for a wander, we always recommend to wear comfortable walking shoes that keep you safe on any surface, from cobblestones to muddy paths.
