| Known for its dramatic landscapes, storied castles, and rich traditions, Scotland offers an unforgettable setting for movement, adventure, and connection. Crossbasket Castle, a beautifully restored 17th-century estate surrounded by woodland and the River Calder, will be our home for six nights. Our thoughtfully curated itinerary blends yoga and nature with Scotland’s history, beauty, and local traditions. From the Falls of Clyde and Loch Lomond to Stirling Castle and The Trossachs, we’ll experience the country on foot and by road—with Highland cattle, local flavors, and a private whisky tasting along the way.

This spacious day is an opportunity to rest, recharge, and enjoy the castle without an agenda.

Day 6: Stirling Castle and The Trossachs Following morning yoga and breakfast, we’ll set out for a beautiful day exploring the landscapes and character of the Scottish Highlands. We’ll enjoy a gentle guided woodland or lochside walk before stopping for a relaxed group lunch near Callander or Kilmahog. Of course, no journey through the Scottish countryside would be complete without meeting a few of Scotland’s famously shaggy, floppy-haired Highland cows! From there, we’ll continue to beautiful Loch Lubnaig, with time for photos and sweeping views across the water and surrounding hills. Our scenic journey back takes us through the spectacular Duke’s Pass, with views toward Loch Achray and the mountains of the Trossachs, before returning to Crossbasket Castle. |
