Scotland
Highland castles, whisky distilleries, the Isle of Skye, and Edinburgh's medieval charm.
Overview
About this package
Seven days through Scotland at its most atmospheric — Edinburgh's cobbled Royal Mile and its castle on volcanic rock, the brooding beauty of Loch Ness and Glencoe, a whisky distillery tour along the Speyside trail, and a ferry crossing to the Isle of Skye's jagged Cuillin peaks. Bagpipes, single malt, and scenery that explains centuries of Highland myth. Add a Royal Mile evening in Edinburgh, St Andrews' golfing heritage, and Eilean Donan's loch-side castle, and seven days move from capital polish to genuine Highland wildness.
