Full description
Departing from Edinburgh, our journey begins with a visit to the striking Kelpies, Scotland’s towering equine sculptures. From there, we venture into the Highlands, traversing landscapes once roamed by the legendary outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor. At a local whisky distillery, you'll uncover the secrets of crafting the 'water of life' and enjoy a tasting of a classic dram.
Next, we visit the serene Hermitage, where a gentle woodland walk reveals the stunning Black Linn Falls on the River Braan. In Dunkeld, we pause to admire the magnificent cathedral nestled along the banks of the River Tay. As the day winds down, we journey south, passing the impressive Forth Bridges.
Returning to Edinburgh, you’ll have the chance to relax and soak up the city’s charm before heading to the spectacular evening performance of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo at the iconic Edinburgh Castle.
