  • Clothing
    Glasgow comedian and actor Sir Billy Connolly famously said of Scotland that “there’s no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes”.

    It’s true that no matter what the season, the weather in Scotland can be “changeable”. We suggest that you bring suitable clothing for all conditions, including a waterproof jacket and plenty of layers, particularly in the winter months.

    Ensure you bring shoes that are suitable for short walks on rough or uneven terrain and, if you plan to do any hiking, we recommend appropriate boots.

    The infamous Scottish midge
    In the spring/summer months, we highly recommend you pack insect repellent to keep midges away, especially in the highlands. While bites aren’t painful at the time, they can become itchy and uncomfortable afterwards.

    Cash or card?
    Although all attractions we visit accept card payments, we would also recommend bringing cash with you.

    And…
    Don’t forget a camera to snap the fantastic memories you’ll make on tour with us!

Tour Itineraray

See Scotland in a whole new light on this evening tour from Glasgow, where history and modern design come alive under the stars. Our Scotland After Dark experience is one of the best evening tours in Scotland, taking you to three of the country’s most famous illuminated landmarks — each spectacularly lit against the night sky.

We’ll begin with a pickup directly from your Glasgow accommodation before setting off on a scenic drive to Stirling Castle, one of Scotland’s grandest royal fortresses. Perched high above the city, its floodlit walls glow after sunset, creating a breathtaking scene that perfectly captures the drama of Scotland’s past. It’s a true Stirling Castle night tour moment — ideal for photographers and history lovers alike.

After a short comfort stop, we’ll continue to The Kelpies, two gleaming 30-metre-tall horse-head sculptures that symbolise Scotland’s strength and industrial spirit. Watching these magnificent structures illuminated in colour is an unforgettable experience — a must-see highlight on any Kelpies after dark tour from Glasgow.

Our final stop is the Falkirk Wheel, a marvel of modern engineering and one of the country’s most unique night-time attractions. This rotating boat lift links two historic canals and looks especially striking when lit up at night — a perfect showcase of Scotland’s creativity and innovation. It’s no wonder this Falkirk Wheel illuminated tour is often a favourite among photographers.

After enjoying the glow of these spectacular sights, we’ll make a relaxed return to Glasgow, where you’ll be dropped off at your accommodation.

Whether you’re looking for unique things to do in Scotland at night or simply want to capture the beauty of Scotland’s landmarks after dark, this small-group evening tour promises a relaxed, scenic, and unforgettable adventure.
