Day 3- Edinburgh – Inverness (2 nights)
This morning we start with a drive over the Firth of Forth to St. Andrews
, one of the most renowned golf courses in the world, where it is
believed that golf was born on the Old Course in the 15th century. We
have time to take a picture at the 18th hole and see the ecclesiastical
ruins in the town before continuing to Dundee
and Perth to charming Pitlochry. Then we see Blair Castle, the ancient
seat of the Dukes and Earls of Atholl, and visit a famous whisky
distillery where local water, the best malt and traditional skills
combine to produce ‘a wee dram’ for us to taste! Finally, on a sombre
note, we see Culloden Moor , scene of the defeat of Bonnie Prince Charlie , before we arrive in Inverness for the next two nights. (Full breakfast / Dinner)
Hotel: Royal Highland (2 nights)
Day 4- Highlands & Isle of Skye Excursion
Today our Tour Director will share the secret of a Hidden Treasure with us! We drive along the banks of Loch Ness and stop at Urquhart Castle to see if we can spot ‘Nessie’. Then along the shores of Loch Cluanie through Glen Shiel. Next we visit Eilean Donan Castle before crossing the Kyle of Lochalsh to the Isle of Skye. Here we listen to romantic tales of Flora Mac Donald and her daring rescue of the Bonnie Prince
as we enjoy the beauty of the Cuillin Hills and see the island’s tiny
capital, Portree, which lies in a sheltered bay. Soon we must return to
the mainland to continue our journey via Loch Carron and Achnasheen
back to our hotel in Inverness . (Full breakfast / Dinner)
Day 5- Inverness – Glasgow (2 nights)
We drive past Fort
William and have views of Britain’s highest peak, Ben Nevis, en route
to Glencoe where the tragic massacre occurred in the early morning of
13 February 1692, during the era of the Glorious Revolution and
Jacobitism. The massacre began simultaneously in three settlements
along the glen, Invercoe, Inverrigan and Achacon, although the killing
took place all over the glen as fleeing MacDonalds were pursued. We
will see the Clan Memorial where each year, on the 13th February, the
Clan Donald Society of Edinburgh arranges an annual wreath laying
ceremony attended by Clansmen from across the world along with local
people. Then we take a scenic drive along the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond to Scotland’s second city, Glasgow . (Full breakfast)
Hotel: Radisson SAS (2 nights)
Day 6- Glasgow orientation and Lowlands Excursion
Then we drive
out to Alloway to see the birthplace of Scotland’s greatest poet,
Robbie Burns, and his monument and the famous Brig O’ Doon. Afterwards
we visit Culzean Castle, ancestral home to the Kennedy family, who
invited Dwight D Eisenhower in November 1945 to accept the tenancy of a
specially created guest flat on the top floor of the castle for his
lifetime, as a gesture of Scottish thanks for America’s support during
World War II. Later we head back to Glasgow where we enjoy a Farewell
Dinner with our Tour Director and the other members of our group to
celebrate the end of our Scottish tour! (Full breakfast / Farewell
Dinner)
Day 7- Depart Glasgow
This morning after breakfast it is time
to bid farewell to our Tour Director and new-found friends as our tour
of Bonnie Scotland comes to an end, and we return home with many happy
memories. (Full breakfast)
