Journey through Scotland & Ireland

5.0 ⭐     43 customer reviews

 Step into a living tapestry of Celtic history as you travel from the cobbled closes of Edinburgh to the lush hills of Western Ireland. This immersive adventure is perfect for travelers who crave heritage, drama, and unforgettable landscapes—woven with tales of warriors, poets, and seafarers.

Day 1 – Welcome to Edinburgh & Whisky Lore

Begin your journey in Scotland’s capital, where old-world charm meets national pride. Dive straight into the story of Scotch whisky with a guided experience along the Royal Mile. Learn the secrets of distillation, swirl a dram of single malt, and marvel at the world’s largest whisky collection. Cap off the evening with a whisky-paired dinner and traditional storytelling—unless you’re visiting during the bustling Tattoo season (Aug 3–19), in which case dinner will be independent.

Wander through Edinburgh’s neoclassical New Town and vibrant Princes Street. Then ascend to Edinburgh Castle to witness the grandeur of the Scottish Crown Jewels. Spend your afternoon your way—maybe delving into shops or cozying into a café. August travelers will be treated to the legendary Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

Today, the Highlands beckon. First, savor handcrafted truffles at Iain Burnett Highland Chocolatier in Perthshire. Then take a scenic break in the charming town of Pitlochry. Afterward, wander the historic halls of Blair Castle, its white façade nestled among Highland peaks, before arriving in Nairn for the night.

Trace the misty banks of Loch Ness en route to the iconic Eilean Donan Castle. Then venture across to the Isle of Skye to explore the romantic ruins of Armadale Castle. After a ferry ride, follow the dramatic Road to the Isles and pause for photos amid the haunting beauty of Glencoe. Continue to The Trossachs and settle in Dunblane.

Start with a visit to Stirling Castle—where monarchs once ruled and Mary, Queen of Scots, was crowned. Travel south to Cairnryan and catch the ferry to Northern Ireland. Arrive in Belfast and unwind with dinner at your hotel.

Explore the Ards Peninsula and trace the journey of Ulster-Scots settlers. Next, experience the riveting Titanic Belfast exhibition. After a free afternoon in the city, gather for a warm night of food and live music at the storied Crosskeys Inn—one of Ireland’s oldest pubs.

Follow the coastal curve through the Nine Glens of Antrim. Stop at the dramatic Giant’s Causeway—where basalt columns rise from the sea—and snap a photo at Dunluce Castle. Then walk the historic walls of Derry with a local guide and uncover how this once-divided city found peace and pride. Overnight in Letterkenny.

Visit Glenveagh National Park and its fairytale castle built deep within the wilderness. Wander through its famous gardens before heading to Donegal, where you’ll browse Irish textiles at Triona Design. End your day in the grand halls of Kilronan Castle with a memorable dinner.

In the Arigna Valley, descend into a former coal mine and hear firsthand stories of life underground. Then step into the natural and historic wonderland of Lough Key Forest Park. Walk the Tree Canopy Bridge, explore Victorian servant tunnels, and breathe in sweeping lake views before returning to Ballyfarnon.

Join a local guide to explore Galway’s medieval core. From there, drive through the wild limestone landscapes of the Burren. At the Cliffs of Moher, let the Atlantic winds stir your soul. End your journey with a medieval banquet, fit for a Gaelic king or queen.

After breakfast, your epic Celtic journey ends—but the legends, landscapes, and friendships will linger long after you’ve returned home.
