Finally, we will discover Doune Castle and the William Wallace monument.



Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland, and one of the largest in the UK. It grew from a small rural settlement to one of world's largest harbours. A university was established in the 15th century and in the 18th century the city was a major centre of the Scottish Enlightenment. The city also grew as one of Great Britain's main hubs of transatlantic trade. During the Victorian era Glasgow came to be known as the ''Second City of the British Empire''. Today it is one of Europe's top financial centres.



Loch Lomond is the largest inland stretch of water in Great Britain. Many islands are present and the largest is Inchmurrin.



Doune Castle is a medieval stronghold originally built in the thirteenth century and rebuilt in its present form in the late 14th century by Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany. The stonework belongs almost entirely to the late 14th century.
