Scotland Guided Tour
Edinburgh Castle, ScotlandPlanning a Trip to Scotland? Do you dream of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle, the sound of the bagpipes and a wee dram of the finest Scottish whisky by a crackling log fire? Then why not join me on a luxurious, 14 day small group tour of Scotland next year? Stay in unique Scottish lodgings including Castles, Manor houses and even an enchanting Loch Side Inn on the Isle of Skye. See all of the main sights, spectacular scenery and lots of Scotland's Hidden Gems without having to worry about any of the details or route planning. Learn about Scotland's history and culture and experience it for yourself on a Highland Cow farm experience or don your tartan for our Jacobite themed dinner, take a turn on the dance floor with the Highland dancers and listen to the Piper while he toasts the Haggis! Follow the Outlander Trail to Falkland, Culloden and the Clava Cairns. See the Glenfinnan Viaduct made famous by the Harry Potter movie and keep your eyes peeled for a glimpse on the Loch Ness monster....
