From the cultural buzz of Glasgow and the stunning natural beauty of the Highlands to the legendary mysteries of Loch Ness and the timeless charm of Edinburgh, this tour captures the essence of Scotland in just a few days. Experience historic castles, majestic mountains, world-renowned whisky, and spirited Scottish entertainment, all while staying in charming manor houses and city-center hotels. Perfect for first-time visitors seeking the soul of Scotland in a vibrant, immersive way.

Day 1 – Discover Glasgow’s Spirit

Begin your adventure at 2:00 PM with a panoramic tour of Glasgow, a city where Victorian grandeur meets lively modern culture. Pass through George Square, dotted with statues honoring Scotland’s notable figures. Visit the stunning Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, a masterpiece of Spanish Baroque architecture boasting an impressive European art collection including works by Rembrandt, Titian, and Dalí. Cap off the day with a welcome drink and dinner shared with your travel companions.

Journey northwards into the Highlands, driving alongside the scenic Loch Lomond with its emerald islands. Cross the wild expanse of Rannoch Moor and take in the dramatic scenery of Glencoe, where mountains and waterfalls abound. Pause at Fort Augustus to embark on a cruise across the legendary Loch Ness, famed not only for its stunning beauty but also its mythical monster. Your evening awaits at an elegant manor house hotel nestled in Nairn.

Dive into Scotland’s whisky tradition at the historic Blair Athol Distillery, where you’ll learn about the craft and enjoy a tasting of fine single malt. Next, visit St Andrews, the revered “Home of Golf,” for a panoramic drive followed by free time to wander the charming old town at your own pace. Later, retreat to a gracious manor house hotel near Edinburgh set amid sweeping grounds. Dinner tonight is yours to enjoy independently.

Explore Edinburgh on a panoramic city tour, from the bustling energy of Princes Street to the elegant Georgian architecture of the “New Town.” Stroll along the historic Royal Mile, where medieval buildings rise high in narrow streets. Visit Edinburgh Castle, perched atop volcanic rock and home to the Scottish Crown Jewels. The afternoon is free for independent exploration before an evening of spirited Scottish entertainment and dinner. (Note: July 29 – August 20 departures will dine independently before attending the famous Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo on the Castle Esplanade.)

Your tour concludes after breakfast, leaving you with lasting memories of Scotland’s rich heritage and stunning landscapes.
