FLE has organised various social events to give conference participants an opportunity to network and to get to know their fellow attendees. Please see below the details of conference networking events.

STIRLING CASTLE, LOCH LOMOND & GLENGOYNE DAY TOUR

We will leave at 9.15am (check-in 9.00am) from 1 Parliament Square on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh and takes you through Stirlingshire. Your guide will bring to life the turbulent times of William Wallace and explain his link to the countryside you are passing through.

Your first stop will be at Stirling Castle. You will stop there for about 2 hours which gives you enough time to explore the Stirling Castle. The entrance fee is not included in the social networking fee, it is optional extra: £13 for adults and £10 for any concessions. If you don’t want to visit the Castle, you don’t have to. There are other things you can do: visit the Abbey, The Old Town Jail or just enjoy walk in the town.

After that the route will take you through stunning Trossachs Mountains where you will be able to enjoy some of Scotland’s most picturesque lochs.

Your lunchtime stop is in small village called Balmaha by the shores of Loch Lomond. You will stop there for about 1 hour 30 minutes. There is lovely traditional Scottish Restaurant called Oak Tree Inn where you can have a lunch and after that just enjoy the walk along the loch.

Your last stop of the day will be at Glengoyne Whisky Distillery where you will have the chance to visit one of Scotland’s most beautiful distilleries and get a taste of the true spirit of the country – a Highland Malt Whisky.

After that you will be driving back to Edinburgh, where you should arrive around 6.15pm.
