Description
Embark on an unforgettable eight-day journey through Scotland’s rolling hills, ancient ruins and the less-visited East Coast. Walk through the historic Royal Mile with an expert historian in Edinburgh, join a guided tour of Stirling Castle – the childhood home of Mary, Queen of Scots – and cruise the serene waters of Loch Lomond. Take a tartan weaving workshop, sit down to a malt whisky tasting at a local distillery along the Speyside Whisky Trail and explore the Isle of Skye on a daytrip through rugged landscapes. Enjoy free time to explore at your own pace and unwind at your Feature Stay in Meldrum house – a 13th-century mansion in the Aberdeenshire countryside.
- Spend two nights on the Isle of Skye – known for its medieval castles and fishing villages. Take a daytrip through the island’s beautiful landscapes and visit rock formations and medieval castle ruins like Old Man of Storr and Fairy Glen.
- Cruise the serene waters of Loch Lomond past Ben Lomond and Inchmurrin Island – home to the ancient ruins of Lennox Castle and the former King of Scotland. Soak in the scenery of shoreline castles and keep an eye out for the legendary Nessie!
