6th day: Aberfoyle – Stirling (39/62 km)
8 km east of Aberfoyle lies Scotland's only lake, the lake of Menteith (the only one to be called a lake and not a loch). On the largest of its three islands are the ruins of Inchmahome priory. Founded in 1238, it was a paradise for many famous people including the queen Mary Stuart of Scotland. Continue towards Doune Castle with a stop in Dunblane to visit the cathedral and then proceed to Stirling. From afar, the imposing Stirling Castle looming over the city can already be seen. A long and scenic road leads south to Gartness before turning east passing near Gargunnock and Fintry Hills and through the Carron Valley before Stirling.

7th day: Stirling – free day
Stirling is one of Scotland's most recent and historical cities. Today there is time to visit the city: the castle, Bannockburn where the battle for Scottish independence was held, the Wallace National Monument, the Holy Rude church founded in the 12th century: all iconic of the Scottish kingdom and its tempestuous past. The city also offers unexpected places, from a prison to a brewery. Museums and galleries range from archaeology to contemporary Scottish art.
