Roaming Scotland

Small group excursions to see the less-explored wilds of Scotland with a focus on its ancient peoples and walking in their footsteps. We offer 'Climb a hill', picking you up and returning you to Edinburgh/Glasgow/Stirling. We also do other day trips and multi-day excursions. Our ‘Trip & Trek’ philosophy combines sightseeing with walking, ensuring we're on foot for 2 to 3 hours a day. Your guide Martin will lead away from the tourist hotspots to show you places of outstanding beauty often with historic interest, especially from the Celtic past.

Castle Campbell

This site is closed. We’re working hard to gradually reopen the places you love while making sure the experience is safe for everyone. Find out more about our reopening plans. Formerly known as the Castle of Glooms, this castle is beautifully sited upon a narrow bridge overlooked by the Ochil Hills. The 15th century fortress of Castle Campbell is dramatically situated above Dollar Glen. The oldest part is a well-preserved 15th century tower around which other buildings were constructed, including an unusual loggia. Castle Campbell was once the home of the powerful Campbell earls of Argyll, and has connections with historical figures such as John Knox and Mary Queen of Scots.

From the moment we stepped foot into the castle grounds we were greeted y such a lovely friendly member of staff. The castle itself is great and although a lot is no longer standing what is left is great. The rooms, the original staircase, costumes to try on and a great kids quiz to complete. We were here about 2 hours. The views are amazing and picnic facilities indoor and out. So pleased we visited then we went for a stroll down the Campbell Glenn. Stunning! And all dog friendly Afterwards we went to a local tea rooms Perfect

Gartmorn Dam Country Park & Nature Reserve

Reviewed By Tillyman

A circle around the Dam will take about one hour and has no obstacles, difficult climbs or impediments. The views north are absolutely stunning and the range from the Ochil Hills to the start of the Highlands north of Stirling are sumptuous. Worth knowing that there is a cafe to visit at the end so that you can reward yourself with freshly made light lunches, fresh baked scones and cakes. Well, after all the effort, you deserve it, don't you?

Alva Glen

Reviewed By Y70MWjaneh - Stirling, United Kingdom

Such a lovely place for a good walk. Can’t recommend it enough. A lovely hill climb punctuated with waterfalls. What’s not to like about that?

Dollar Glen

Reviewed By tracywQ4903BV - Newton Ferrers, United Kingdom

Stunning walks around a very beautiful area. Only disappointment was the castle which we didn't feel was worth paying to enter.

The Japanese Garden

Reviewed By Vancatwoman - Glasgow, United Kingdom

We visited on a cold bright day and the garden was stunning. Felt we could have been in Japan. Beautifully laid out with authentic lanterns and pagodas. The cafe is good., Excellent soup and sandwiches plus scrummy cakes. Would love to visit again.

Kidz World

Reviewed By PonyUpMum

Smaller than some of the bigger commercial play areas this one still manages to pack a lot for kids to do in a smaller space. Snacks and drinks are on the pricier side but there is also a selection of fresh cooked hot food not to badly priced. Kids had fun. I got peace. Job done
